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.

Note on the responsible party (referred to as “controller” in the GDPR)

The data processing controller on this website is:
Gregor Wöltje
Bricks And Stories GmbH (haftungsbeschränkt)
Herzog-Rudolf-Str. 9
D – 80539 Munich
gw@bricksandstories.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (names, email addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to the processing of your data
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of data protection violations, the data subject has the right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: HTTPS://WWW.BFDI.BUND.DE/DE/INFOTHEK/ANSCHRIFTEN_LINKS/ANSCHRIFTEN_LINKS-NODE.HTML.

Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we are processing with your consent 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.

Information, blocking, deletion
As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address given in our legal notice if you have further questions on the topic of personal data.

Objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published in accordance with the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example by spam e-mails.


3. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

Contact form
If you send us an enquiry using the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal message by email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have finished processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
