A link to the platform is therefore no longer possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a service provider, we are responsible under \u00a7 7 (1) DDG for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws. Pursuant to \u00a7\u00a7 8 to 10 DDG, however, we as a service provider are not under any obligation to monitor third-party information transmitted or stored on our platform, or to investigate circumstances that point to illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected. Liability in this respect, however, is only possible from the point in time at which we become aware of a specific legal violation. Upon becoming aware of corresponding legal violations, we will remove this content immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our offering contains links to external third-party websites whose content we have no influence over. We therefore cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for the content of those pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not identifiable at the time of linking. Permanent monitoring of the linked pages is not reasonable without specific evidence of a legal violation. Upon becoming aware of legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The content and works on these pages created by the site operators are subject to German copyright law. In particular, the photographs published on this website are protected by copyright. Unless otherwise stated, they are by Tommi Aittala. Reproduction, editing, distribution and any kind of use outside the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or photographer. Downloads and copies of this site are only permitted for private, non-commercial use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where content on this site was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. In particular, third-party content is identified as such. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, we ask you to inform us. Upon becoming aware of legal violations, we will remove such content immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Articles created in cooperation with advertising partners are clearly labelled with the words “Anzeige” (“Advertisement”) or “Gesponsert [brand name]” (“Sponsored by [brand name]”). Advertising placements in the sidebar are also recognisable as advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bernhard Roetzel<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kribber Str. 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n 19357 Karst\u00e4dt<\/p>\n\n\n\n Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phone: +49 176 40158279<\/p>\n\n\n\n E-mail: info@feineherr.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A data protection officer is not required by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website together with our content and services. Processing usually takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and processing is permitted by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The legal bases for processing are in particular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of processing no longer applies and no statutory retention obligations stand in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This website is hosted by an external service provider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Provider: to be communicated upon request. A Data Processing Agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The provider processes personal data of users on our behalf (in particular IP addresses, log files). The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in a technically secure and efficient provision of the website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the calling device’s computer system. The following data is collected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This data is stored in the log files of our hosting provider. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The processing serves the technical functionality, security and stability of the website. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Log files are automatically deleted after 14 days at the latest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our website uses cookies and similar technologies (e.g. local storage) to keep the website functional, to enable reach measurement, and to embed third-party content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For managing your consent we use the consent manager Borlabs Cookie<\/strong> by Borlabs GmbH, R\u00fcbenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg, Germany. Borlabs Cookie stores your cookie consent in a strictly necessary cookie on your device. The following data is stored:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storage duration is 12 months. Data processing is carried out to fulfil a legal obligation (proof of consent under Art. 7 (1) GDPR), legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Borlabs Cookie processes the data exclusively on our server, no transmission to third parties takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can withdraw or adjust your consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cookies that are not strictly necessary are only set after your active consent pursuant to \u00a7 25 (1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Subject to your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4<\/strong>, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics is integrated via Google Tag Manager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google Analytics uses cookies and comparable technologies that allow analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We use Google Analytics exclusively with IP anonymisation activated. Your IP address is therefore truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transfers to the USA:<\/strong> Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (the successor to Privacy Shield, which was invalidated by the Schrems II ruling of 16 July 2020).

Certification status can be verified at: https:\/\/www.dataprivacyframework.gov\/list<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and \u00a7 25 (1) TDDDG (consent via Borlabs Cookie).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storage duration: 14 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Data Processing Agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further information: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n We use the WordPress plugin AnalyticsWP<\/strong> to analyse anonymously which posts are read how often. AnalyticsWP runs server-side on our hosting provider. No data is transmitted to external providers. The following is recorded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a simple, data-minimising reach measurement (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Since no cookies are set and the IP is truncated, consent is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storage duration: 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Subject to your consent, we use Adobe Fonts<\/strong> (Typekit) by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland, for consistent font display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you call up a page that uses Adobe Fonts, your browser loads the required fonts from Adobe servers (use.typekit.net). In doing so, your IP address is transmitted to Adobe. Adobe is also certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Until you give consent, the script is blocked by our consent manager Borlabs.

We do not pass on this data without your consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering your enquiry). Data is deleted as soon as processing is complete and no statutory retention obligations stand in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent automated requests (spam protection), we use Google reCAPTCHA<\/strong> on the contact page, a service of Google Ireland Limited. Technical data (including IP address, time spent, mouse movements, browser and device information) is transmitted to Google and analysed there. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in spam protection (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google’s privacy policy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Users can leave comments on our articles. We use the comment function built into WordPress. The following data is collected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All comments are manually approved before publication (pre-moderation) to prevent spam and abusive content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent through active submission) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in editorial discussion). Storage is open-ended for as long as the article is online; you can request deletion at any time by e-mail to info@feineherr.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We display advertising slots in the sidebar. Some of these are served programmatically via Adform<\/strong> (Adform A\/S, Wildersgade 10B, 1408 Copenhagen K, Denmark). Subject to your consent, Adform sets cookies or comparable technologies to measure delivery and to evaluate reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Data processed may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adform is established in the EU.

If you click such a banner, you are forwarded to the advertising partner’s website, where they receive your IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In individual articles and, where applicable, on the home page, we embed third-party content, in particular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Embedded content is loaded only after your consent via Borlabs Cookie. Until then, you see a placeholder in place of the embed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you consent to the embed, your browser establishes a direct connection to the respective provider. Technical data (in particular IP address, browser, referrer) is transmitted to the provider. If you are simultaneously logged in to the service, the provider may associate the visit with your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and \u00a7 25 (1) TDDDG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Privacy information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transfers to the USA are based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Meta, Google) or Standard Contractual Clauses (Vimeo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n On individual pages, in particular the maker map, we embed Google Maps<\/strong> by Google Ireland Limited subject to your consent. The map allows you to interactively browse the bespoke makers and workshops featured in the magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Until you consent, you see a placeholder instead of the map. After consent, your browser establishes a connection to Google. Your IP address is transmitted to Google in the process. If you are logged in to Google, the visit may be associated with your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and \u00a7 25 (1) TDDDG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transfers to the USA: EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google’s privacy policy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the footer and on the About page, we link to the following profiles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are exclusively static links, not embedded plug-ins.
