Privacy Policy | Data Protection at 4eck Media

Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obligated to provide the data. Failure to provide it will have no consequences. This applies only to the extent that no other information is provided in the following processing operations. “Personal data” refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Server Logfiles

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. With each access to our website, usage data is transmitted to us or to our web host/IT service provider by your internet browser and stored in log data (so-called server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the accessed page, the date and time of the retrieval, the IP address, the amount of data transmitted, and the requesting provider. The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the uninterrupted operation of our website and improving our services.

Responsible

Customer’s proactive contact via email

If you initiate contact with us via email, we only collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) to the extent you provide it. The data processing serves to handle and respond to your inquiry. If the contact serves to carry out pre-contractual measures (e.g., consulting regarding purchase interest, preparing an offer) or concerns an existing contract between you and us, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. If the contact is for other reasons, this data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in processing and responding to your inquiry. In this case, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for reasons related to your particular situation. We use your email address only to process your request. Your data will then be deleted respecting legal retention periods, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Technically necessary cookies

As long as no other information is provided in the privacy policy below, we only use these technically necessary cookies for the purpose of making our offerings more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Furthermore, cookies enable our systems to recognize your browser even after a page change and to offer you services. Some features of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized again after a page change. The use of cookies or comparable technologies is based on § 25 para. 2 TTDDG. The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the optimal functionality of the website as well as a user-friendly and effective design of our offerings.

Plugins and Other

Use of YouTube

We use the embedding function for YouTube videos from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “YouTube”) on our website. YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The function displays videos stored on YouTube in an iframe on the website. The “Enhanced Privacy Mode” option is enabled. This means that YouTube does not store information about the visitors of the website. Only when you watch a video will information about it be transmitted to YouTube and stored there. Your data may be transmitted to the USA. There is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks. The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR from our legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for reasons arising from your particular situation. More information on the collection and use of data by YouTube and Google, your related rights, and options for protecting your privacy can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at https://www.youtube.com/t/privacy..
