In the following, you can find information on which personal data (which comprises any data that identify you or make you identifiable such as name, address, email address or user behavior) we collect while you visit our website and how these data are used. Please do not hesitate to contact us by sending an email to info@innovationstrainerin.de if you have any additional questions.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in case of an unlawful use of data. The competent supervisory authority is:

Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit

During a visit of our website, various server statistics transmitted by your browser to the server of our provider are automatically stored. Information stored includes the name of the website visited, the file, date and time of the visit, the volume of data transferred, notification of successful data retrieval, the browser type (incl. version information), the user’s operating system, the referrer URL (the last visited website), the IP address, and the inquiring provider.

These data are used for the purposes of the statistical evaluation of website visits, and we cannot assign these data to specific persons. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR represents the legal basis for data collection. These data are not combined with other data sources. The IP address is anonymized. Our legitimate interest in the collection of these data is based on the rationale that, based on such data, we can optimize our services we offer for users, e. g. by preventing access from malicious sites or optimizing the access via specific browsers. Apart from that, logging the IP address enables the delivery of the site to the user in the first place.

You generally have the right to object to the collection of data. By way of exception, this right to object is ruled out as a matter of fact since otherwise use of this website would not be possible.

Data are erased after seven days.

2a. General

We use any personal data provided by you to respond to your queries, for consultation purposes and to perform in accordance with contracts we concluded with you as well as for technical administration purposes. Except in the cases explicitly stated in this Privacy Notice, your personal data shall only be transferred or otherwise transmitted to third parties if this is necessary for the contract to be performed or for accounting/billing purposes, or when you have given your prior consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with prospective effect (see also Section 5 regarding the rights of data subjects).

2b. Performance of contract

Within the framework of contracts regarding workshops or trainings entered into with you, we collect and store the personal data provided by you, such as name and address, for the purpose of contract performance, e. g. also for accounting/billing purposes.
The data are transferred to banks for accounting/billing purposes. The accounting/billing data are transferred to the tax consultant and the tax authorities based on applicable provisions under tax law.

The legal basis for the collection, processing and transfer of data is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR as far as contract performance is concerned. The legal basis for the transfer of data to the tax consultant and the tax authorities is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
These data are erased after expiry of the applicable legal retention periods. To the extent that we are not subject to legal retention periods, the data are erased when the purpose no longer exists.

You shall always have the right of access and the right to object as regards the data stored by us (see also Section 5 regarding the rights of data subjects).

2c. Contact form and request by email

If you use our contact form, we collect and store the name and the email address for the purpose of replying to your request. If you send us a contact request via email, we collect and store the email address and the data included in the email.
The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, since you consent to the processing of your data when you use the contact form or send an email. If the request results in a contractual relationship or if the request refers to an existing contractual relationship, the legal basis also refers to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR since the storage of data is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling obligations prior to entering into a contract or obligations under existing contracts.

The data are erased when the purpose for storing the data ceases to exist, i. e. after we replied to your request via email or via the contact form or when the subject matter of the request has been finally clarified. The applicable legal retention periods apply with respect to any ensuing contractual relationship.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on your consent.
Further information on your right of erasure and right of access can be found in Section 6 regarding the rights of data subjects.
