Explanation of Important Terms and Principles

Personal data refers to individual details about the personal or material circumstances of a specific or (with some effort) identifiable natural person. This includes, in addition to name, address, and telephone number, all other data that describes this person or their behavior in any way. This includes, in particular, all digital data traces that each of us leaves behind through internet usage. This person, with their data, is also referred to as the data subject.

Processing your (personal) data encompasses all activities from collection, storage, use, modification, transmission, or disclosure to deletion. It doesn't matter whether this is done electronically (e.g., by computer) or otherwise (e.g., on paper).

Specific processing of your personal data is also referred to as a processing activity. Each processing activity has a specific, definable processing purpose and requires, among other things, a concrete, definable legal basis; otherwise, processing is not permitted.

The controller is the entity that ultimately determines the purposes and means of processing your data. It doesn't matter whether the controller is a person, a company, another association, a public authority, or similar. The controller can make decisions about the purposes and means of processing alone, jointly with others, or on behalf of a third party.

Your Contact Options

The controller for processing your personal data is:

Dr. Robert Franke Managing Director

IMG Investitions- und Marketinggesellschaft Sachsen-Anhalt mbH Am Alten Theater 6 39104 Magdeburg

As a data subject, you generally have the following rights regarding your (personal) data:

  • Right to access information about your stored data.
  • Right to rectification or completion of inaccurate data.
  • Right to erasure of data if, for example, it is no longer necessary for the purpose of use or there is no (longer) a legal basis for processing.
  • Right to restriction of data processing if, for example, the accuracy of the data is contested or the processing is presumably unlawful.
  • Right to object to further processing of your data by us.
  • Right to data portability in a reusable electronic format, as long as this does not impair the rights and freedoms of others.
  • Right to withdraw consent to use at any time and subsequently be "forgotten" if the use of your data is based on previously given consent.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (see above) if you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection claims have otherwise been violated.

Please allow us 14 days to process your request.

Data Processing on Our Website

General

When visiting our website, various data is processed to analyze and improve the use of our information offering and to identify and rectify potential vulnerabilities.

Server Log Files

When you visit our website, information is collected and stored in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL (the website you came from), hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and your IP address.

This data is processed on our internet service provider's servers. It is not merged with other data sources. This processing activity is not a basis for automated decision-making (profiling). We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest after weighing all risks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our interest is: publicizing our company, self-promotion, informing about our services, supporting the initiation of business contacts by publishing suitable contact options for interested parties and business partners, and improving the user-friendliness of our information offering.

Data is stored for one year.

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 you send to us. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address line from "http://" to "https://" and 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.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies necessary for electronic communication or providing certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for technically error-free and optimized provision of services. If other cookies are stored (e.g., for analyzing your surfing behavior), they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

We generally have no influence on the content and compliance with data protection regulations by these providers.

Adcell

This website has integrated components of Adcell. Adcell is a German affiliate network offering affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is an internet-based sales method that allows commercial website operators (merchants or advertisers) to display advertising on third-party websites (affiliates or publishers), usually remunerated via click or sale commissions. The merchant provides advertising material (e.g., a banner) via the affiliate network, which the affiliate then integrates into their website or advertises through other channels like keyword advertising or email marketing.

The operating company of Adcell is Firstlead GmbH, Rosenfelder Str. 15-16, 10315 Berlin, Germany.

Adcell sets a cookie on your system. The Adcell tracking cookie does not store personal data. It only stores the identification number of the affiliate (the partner mediating the potential customer) and the serial number of the website visitor and the clicked advertising material. This data is stored to process commission payments between the merchant and the affiliate via Adcell.

You can prevent cookies from being set at any time by adjusting your browser settings. This will also prevent Adcell from setting a cookie. Additionally, cookies already set by Adcell can be deleted at any time via your browser or other software.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google Web Fonts

This website uses script libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) for consistent and visually appealing display of content across browsers. Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Calling script or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible – but currently unclear whether and for what purposes – that operators of such libraries collect data.
