Privacy Policy
Version dated February 23, 2024
​
The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to me. Therefore, I process your data exclusively on the basis of the applicable legal provisions (EU General Data Protection Regulation GDPR, TKG 2021). In this privacy policy, I inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within the scope of my activities.
The use of my website is generally possible without providing personal data. If you enter personal data, such as for the purpose of contacting me or subscribing to a newsletter, I will only pass on the necessary information to companies that process data on my behalf (e.g., sending newsletters). I only commission companies that comply with the General Data Protection Regulation.
​
Encrypted Transmission
For security and data protection reasons, this website uses SSL encryption, which prevents third parties from intercepting and reading the data you enter during transmission. You can recognize the active encryption by the padlock icon or similar symbols in your browser's address bar.
​
Contacting Me
When you contact me via the website form, email, or other means, the data you provide (name, telephone number, email address, and your message) will be stored by me for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions for 6 months (in general) to a maximum of 1.5 years (only for Astrological Consultation). If a contract arises from the inquiry, the statutory retention periods apply. I do not disclose this data without your consent. The data processing is based on Art 6 para 1 lit b (contract performance) and Art 6 para 1 lit a (consent) of the GDPR.
​
Server Logs
The server hosting this website stores information automatically transmitted by your browser, in so-called log files. These include:

These data serve exclusively for the technical monitoring of the web server (load, optimization, error detection, security) and are absolutely necessary for this purpose. They are not linked to other data sources, so they cannot be assigned to individual persons. They are deleted after three months.
The data processing is based on Art 6 para 1 lit f (legitimate interests) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR is the proper and secure functioning of the website.

As the privacy of my users is important to me, this data is pseudonymized, meaning I cannot assign it to specific individuals and do not know who the respective visitor was.
I have enabled the "IP anonymization" function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated before being transmitted to the USA and cannot be assigned to a specific person anymore. Only rough localization is possible. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
