Legal

Privacy policy

How your data is handled when you visit this website or use the contact form.

This is a translation for convenience. The legally binding version is the German privacy policy.

1. Controller

The controller for the processing of personal data on this website is:

Vincent Schnetzer
Trading as: Pixelkiez
Edelhofdamm 74
13465 Berlin
Germany

Email: kontakt@pixelkiez.de

2. Access to the website and hosting

When this website is accessed, technically necessary data is processed. This may include in particular:

This processing is necessary in order to provide the website, to ensure its security and stability and to detect technical faults or abusive access.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in providing the website securely and in working order.

The website is hosted by the following provider:

Railway Corporation
548 Market Street, PMB 68956
San Francisco, California 94104
USA

The application is operated in the Railway region “EU West – Amsterdam” in the Netherlands. Railway processes data as a processor on the basis of a contract pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

As Railway is based in the USA and operates parts of its services from there, data may be processed in the USA or be accessible from there. Railway states that it is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Where that framework does not apply, the data processing agreement provides for the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses as the basis for transfers.

Technical log data is stored only for as long as this is necessary for the purposes stated. The retention period at Railway depends on the plan booked and, according to Railway, is generally no longer than 90 days. Data is retained for longer only where this is necessary to investigate a security incident or because of legal obligations.

3. Contact form and email

When you get in touch through the contact form, the following mandatory details are processed:

The following details are optional:

Technically, the page from which the enquiry was sent is also transmitted. This serves solely to attribute the enquiry; no usage profile is created from it.

The form contains a field for spam protection which is not visible to visitors and is not meant to be filled in. If it is filled in nonetheless, the enquiry is discarded and not processed further.

If you contact us directly by email, the email address, the content of the message and any further details you volunteer are processed.

The data is used to handle the enquiry, to answer follow-up questions and, where applicable, to prepare a quotation.

Where the enquiry relates to entering into or performing a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. For general business enquiries, processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in handling and answering the enquiry.

The mandatory details in the contact form are required so that the enquiry can be handled. Without them, an enquiry cannot be processed through the contact form. Either an email address or a telephone number is sufficient as your contact detail; the two are equally valid, and which of them you leave is your choice. The remaining details are optional and may be left blank.

Form enquiries are processed through Railway’s hosting environment and delivered to the email mailbox kontakt@pixelkiez.de.

The following provider is used to send that message:

Plus Five Five, Inc. (Resend)
2261 Market Street #5039
San Francisco, CA 94114
USA

Resend processes the contents of the form enquiry as a processor on the basis of a contract pursuant to Article 28 GDPR, solely for the purpose of delivery to the mailbox named above. As Resend is based in the USA, data may be processed there. For transfers from the European Economic Area, the data processing agreement provides for the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Resend uses sub-processors; the current list is available at the address given below.

The following provider is used to operate the email mailbox in which the enquiry then rests:

Hostinger International Ltd.
61 Lordou Vironos Street
6023 Larnaca
Cyprus

Hostinger processes the email data as a processor on the basis of a contract pursuant to Article 28 GDPR. Where Hostinger uses sub-processors outside the European Economic Area and no adequacy decision applies, Hostinger states that the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses are used in particular.

Contact enquiries are deleted once they have been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations or legitimate grounds for further storage remain.

Where a contractual relationship arises, or where the correspondence is relevant for tax or commercial purposes, the data is stored in accordance with the statutory retention periods.

4. Cookies and tracking

This website currently uses no cookies requiring consent and no analytics, marketing or tracking services.

Fonts are also served exclusively from our own server. There is no connection to Google Fonts or other external providers, so no IP address is transmitted to third parties.

5. Rights of data subjects

Subject to the statutory conditions, data subjects have in particular the following rights:

Where data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, an objection to the processing may be lodged on grounds relating to the particular situation of the data subject.

A message to kontakt@pixelkiez.de is sufficient to exercise these rights.
