3. Data collection on this website
Who is responsible for data collection on this website? Data processing is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator's contact details in this privacy policy and in the legal notice. How do we collect your data? On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us (for example data you enter in a contact form). Other data is collected automatically or with your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system, or time of page view). The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits. These are: • Browser type and browser version • Operating system used • Referrer URL • Hostname of the accessing computer • Time of the server request • IP address These data are not combined with other sources. Collection is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of the website; for this purpose the server log files must be recorded. If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry and all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) are stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. This data is not passed on without your consent. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request relates to fulfilling a contract or pre-contractual measures; otherwise on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (effective handling of inquiries directed to us) or on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent has been requested.
4. Purposes of use
Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour where permitted by law.
5. Legal bases and transfers
If you have given consent to processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data are concerned. If you have consented to storage of cookies or access to information on your end device, processing also takes place on the basis of Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If data is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR applies. Further processing may take place on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR where we have a legitimate interest. We may use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not guarantee a level of data protection equivalent to the EU. In such cases your personal data may be transferred to and processed in those countries. Appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are used where required.
6. Hosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). Personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website access, and other data generated via a website. The use of the hoster is for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If consent has been requested, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG where cookies or device access are involved. Consent can be revoked at any time. Our hoster processes your data only to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and follows our instructions regarding this data. Hosting provider: manitu GmbH Welvertstraße 2 66606 St. Wendel Germany If this site is additionally delivered via other infrastructure (for example a static deployment on Vercel Inc.), the same principles apply; sub-processors should be documented in your records and, where required, covered by a data processing agreement.
7. Cookies, similar technologies, and third-party tools
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent at any time; the lawfulness of processing before revocation remains unaffected. If you use our Calendly link to schedule a meeting (https://calendly.com/joshuawellbrock/intro), Calendly Inc. processes the information you provide there as an independent controller under its own terms and privacy policy.
8. Storage period and SSL/TLS encryption
Unless a specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for erasure or revoke consent to processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case deletion takes place after those reasons cease to apply. For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the change from "http://" to "https://" in the address bar of your browser and by the lock symbol. If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties as it travels over the network.
9. Your rights and supervisory authority
You have the right at any time to obtain free information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data, and a right to rectification or erasure of this data, to restriction of processing, to data portability, and — where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR — to object on grounds relating to your particular situation, including to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR). Where personal data is processed for direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. Many of the rights above are set out in more detail in Articles 15–22 GDPR. You can contact us at any time using the contact details in section 2.
10. Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this privacy policy when the website, legal requirements, or our processing activities change. The version published here applies as indicated under "Last updated".
