2. General information and mandatory Information

Data protection

The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence,

we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data

protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises

data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we

collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the

information is collected.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e. through e-mail communications)

may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third party access.

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the „controller“ in the GDPR)

The data processing controller on this website is:

Martin Sommerkamp

Frankenseite 11

D-47877 Willich

Phone: 49 151 74500894

E-mail: MARTIN@CULTURESTYLES.EU

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes

decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail

addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also

revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an

informal notification via e-mail. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that

occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct

advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to at

any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique

situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on

which any processing of data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you log an

objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present

compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights

and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal

entitlements (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to at

any time object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising. This

also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your

personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to

Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory

agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the

place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other

administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your

consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine

readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done

only if it is technically feasible.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or

inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption

programme. You can recognise an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the

browser switches from „http://“ to „https://“ and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information about, blockage, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand

information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the

processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified, blocked or eradicated. If you

have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate

to contact us at any time at the address provided in section „Information Required by Law.“

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is

concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in section „Information

Required by Law.“ The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need

some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to

demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to

demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.

If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal

entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead

of its eradication.

If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be

weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the

right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving –

may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to

protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by

the European Union or a member state of the EU.

Rejection of unsolicited e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory

information to be provided in section „Information Required by Law“ to send us promotional and information

material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the

express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for

instance via SPAM Messages.

3. Recording of data on our Website

In some instances, our website and its pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your

computer and do not contain viruses. The purpose of cookies is to make our website more user friendly,

effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your

browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called „session cookies.“ They are automatically deleted after your leave

our site. Other cookies will remain archived on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to

recognise your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can adjust the settings of your browser to make sure that you are notified every time cookies are placed

and to enable you to accept cookies only in specific cases or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific

situations or in general and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you

deactivate cookies, the functions of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required for the performance of the electronic communications transaction or to provide

certain functions you want to use (e.g. the shopping cart function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit.

f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error free

and optimised provision of the operator’s services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your

browsing patterns) should be stored, they are addressed separately in this Data Protection Declaration.

Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server

log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:

The time of the server inquiry

The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate

interest in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any

contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event

that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

Hence, the processing of the data entered into the contact form occurs exclusively based on your consent

(Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You have the right to revoke at any time any consent you have already given us.

To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an informal notification via e-mail. This shall be without

prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the

data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being

archived no longer exists (e.g. after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without

prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods.

Request by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name,

request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these

data on without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the execution

of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is

based on your consent (Article 6 (1) a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), since

we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your

consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request).

Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we will need from you an e-mail

address as well as information that allow us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided

and consent to the receipt of the newsletter. No further data shall be collected or shall be collected only on a

voluntary basis. We shall use such data only for the sending of the requested information and shall not share

such data with any third parties.

The processing of the information entered into the newsletter subscription form shall occur exclusively on

the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke the consent you have given to the

archiving of data, the e-mail address and the use of this information for the sending of the newsletter at any

the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place to date.

The data you archive with us for the purpose of the newsletter subscription shall be archived by us until you

unsubscribe from the newsletter. Once you cancel your subscription to the newsletter, the data shall be

deleted. This shall not affect data we have been archiving for other purposes.

MailChimp

This website uses the services of MailChimp to send out its newsletters. The provider is the Rocket Science

Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Among other things, MailChimp is a service that can be deployed to organise and analyse the sending of

newsletters. Whenever you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g. your e-mail

address), the information is stored on MailChimp servers in the United States.

MailChimp is in possession of a certification that is in compliance with the „EU-US-Privacy-Shield.“ The

„Privacy-Shield“ is a compact between the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA) that

aims to warrant the compliance with European data protection standards in the United States.

With the assistance of the MailChimp tool, we can analyse the performance of our newsletter campaigns. If

you open an e-mail that has been sent through the MailChimp tool, a file that has been integrated into the e-

mail (a so-called web-beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. As a result, it can be

determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links the recipient possibly clicked

on. Technical information is also recorded at that time (e.g. the time of access, the IP address, type of

browser and operating system). This information cannot be allocated to the respective newsletter recipient.

Their sole purpose is the performance of statistical analyses of newsletter campaigns. The results of such

analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients more effectively.

If you do not want to permit an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We

provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message. Moreover, you can also unsubscribe from the

newsletter right on the website.

The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke any consent you

have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the

lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation.

The data you archive with us for the purpose of the newsletter subscription shall be archived by us until you

unsubscribe from the newsletter. Once you cancel your subscription to the newsletter, the data shall be

deleted from our servers as well as those of MailChimp. This shall not affect data we have been archiving for

other purposes.

For more details, please consult the Data Privacy Policies of MailChimp at:

https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
