Privacy Policy

§ 1 General Information

This Privacy Policy provides detailed information about what happens to your personal data when you visit our website, lingtelligence-consulting.com. Any data that allows you to be personally identified is personal data. When processing your data, we strictly adhere to legal requirements, in particular the Datenschutzgrundverordnung (“DSGVO”). It is very important to us that your visit to our website is completely secure.

§ 2 Data Controller

Responsibility for the collection and processing of personal data on this website lies, under data protection law, with:

Dr. Kira Kasperek

Eislebener Str. 15, 28329 Bremen, Germany

info@lingtelligence-consulting.de

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding data protection, please contact Dr. Kira Kasperek at info@lingtelligence-consulting.de

§ 3 Social Media

A. LinkedIn Plugin

Functions of the LinkedIn social network are integrated into our website. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”).

To enhance data protection when visiting our website, the LinkedIn plugins are not integrated directly, but rather via an HTML link (the so-called “Shariff” solution from c’t). This approach ensures that when you access a page on our website that contains LinkedIn plugins, no connection to LinkedIn’s servers is initially established. The connection to LinkedIn is initiated only when you actively click the LinkedIn button in a separate browser window.

For information on the nature and scope of data collection, the further processing and use of the data by LinkedIn, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to LinkedIn’s privacy policy, which you can find here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

§ 4 Contact Form

If you contact us via email or the contact form, the data transmitted in the process, including your contact information, will be stored in order to process your inquiry and to be available for any follow-up questions. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent. The processing of the data transmitted via the contact form is based exclusively on your consent granted in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the DSGVO. You may withdraw this consent at any time without providing a reason. An informal email to us is sufficient for the withdrawal. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data submitted via the contact form will be stored by us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the need for data storage no longer applies. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by this.

§ 5 Use and Disclosure of Data

We assure you that personal data you provide to us, e.g., via email (such as your name, address, or email address), will not be sold to third parties or otherwise used for commercial purposes. Your data is processed exclusively for the purpose of corresponding with you and to fulfill the purpose for which you provided us with the data. As part of any payment processing, your payment data will be forwarded to the designated financial institution.

The data automatically collected when you visit our website is used exclusively for the purposes mentioned above. The data will not be used for any other purpose.

The protection of your personal data is important to us. We therefore do not, as a general rule, disclose your data to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or you have given us your express consent.

§ 6 Encryption (SSL/TLS)

Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security and protection of the transmission of confidential content. This applies in particular to orders or inquiries that you, as a visitor to the site, send to us as the operator of the website. An encrypted connection is indicated by “https://” in the address bar of your browser and the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. Activating SSL or TLS encryption ensures that the data you send to us cannot be read by unauthorized third parties.

§ 7 Retention Period

The personal data you provide to us via our website is stored only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the respective purpose of data processing. However, in accordance with commercial and tax law retention requirements, the storage of certain data may last up to 10 years.

§ 8 Your Data Protection Rights

As a person affected by data processing, you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller regarding your personal data, in accordance with the statutory provisions:

A. Right to Withdraw Consent

Many data processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to consent at any time with future effect, pursuant to Art. 7(3) of the DSGVO. The lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal on the basis of your consent remains unaffected. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes is not affected by a withdrawal of consent.

B. Right of Access

Pursuant to Article 15 of the DSGVO, you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing your personal data. If this is the case, you have the right to access this data, including the purposes of processing, the categories of data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the data has been or will be disclosed, the planned retention period or the criteria for determining it, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the origin of the data, unless it was collected from you, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and intended effects of such processing on you, and your right to be informed of the safeguards provided under Article 46 of the DSGVO in the event your data is transferred to third countries.

C. Right to Rectification

You have the right, at any time, pursuant to Article 16 of the DSGVO, to request that we correct inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or complete your incomplete data.

D. Right to Erasure

You have the right, pursuant to Article 17 of the DSGVO, to request the erasure of your personal data if one of the following grounds applies:

a. Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

b. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the DSGVO, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c. You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the DSGVO and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the DSGVO.

d. The personal data has been processed unlawfully.

e. We are required to erase the personal data due to a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject.

f. The personal data was collected in connection with the provision of information society services pursuant to Article 8(1) of the DSGVO. This right may be restricted under the following circumstances if the processing is necessary:

a. to comply with a legal obligation that requires the processing under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority;

b. to fulfill a legal obligation that requires the processing under the law of the Union or of the Member State to which we are subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority entrusted to us;

c. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the DSGVO;

d. for archiving purposes, scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the DSGVO that are in the public interest, provided that the protection of the data subject’s rights would render the purposes of such processing impossible or seriously impair them; or

e. for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If we have made your personal data public and are obligated to erase it pursuant to the preceding provisions, we will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the costs of implementation, to inform the data controllers who are processing this data that you, as the data subject, have requested the deletion of all links to your personal data or of copies or replicas of such data.

E. Right to Restriction of Processing

Pursuant to Article 18 of the DSGVO, you have the right to request the restriction of processing (blocking) of your personal data. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time. You can find our contact information in the Legal Notice. A restriction of processing may be requested in the following cases:

a. If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

b. If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.

c. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.

d. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the DSGVO, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Once the processing of your personal data has been restricted, it may generally only be processed with your consent. Exceptions apply to certain cases defined by law, such as for the assertion of legal claims or the protection of public interests.

F. Right to Be Informed

If you exercise your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing of your personal data, we are obligated under Art. 19 of the DSGVO to inform all recipients to whom the data has been disclosed of this fact. This does not apply if such notification proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. At your request, we will inform you of the recipients of your data.

G. Protection Against Automated Decision-Making (Profiling)

Pursuant to Article 22 of the DSGVO, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

This does not apply if the decision

a. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us,

b. is permitted under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and such law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or

c. is based on your explicit consent.

However, decisions in the cases referred to in (a) through (c) may not be based on special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the DSGVO, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we take appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests. This includes, at a minimum, the right to request human intervention by the controller, to present your own point of view, and to challenge the decision.

H. Right to Data Portability

In the event that your personal data is processed based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO or Art. 9(2)(a) DSGVO, or based on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) DSGVO, and such processing is carried out using automated means, you have the right under Article 20 of the DSGVO to receive the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller or to request that we transmit it to another controller, provided this is technically feasible.

I. Right to Object

If we process your personal data on the basis of a balancing of interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the DSGVO, you have the right to object to this processing at any time for reasons arising from your personal situation; this also applies to profiling based on such processing. The applicable legal basis for the processing can be found in this Privacy Policy.

In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your personal data in question unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) DSGVO).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this processing at any time; this also applies to profiling, provided it is related to such direct marketing. In the event of an objection, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) of the DSGVO).

With regard to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option to exercise your right to object by means of automated processes, using technical specifications.

J. Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 DSGVO

In the event of violations of the provisions of the DSGVO, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. The complaint may be lodged, in particular, in the Member State where the data subject has their habitual residence, their place of work, or where the alleged infringement occurred. The right to lodge a complaint under this provision is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Our competent supervisory authority is:

The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen
