2. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

 

External Hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data recorded on this website are stored on the host's servers. This can be IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website access and other data generated via a website.

 

The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.b GDPR) and in the interest of a safe, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 Para . 1 lit.f GDPR).

 

Our hoster will only process your data to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill its performance obligations and follow our instructions with regard to this data.

 

jsdelivr.net (CDN)

We use the jsdeliver.com (CDN) service to optimize the retrieval speed, design and presentation of the content of our website. This is an open source service provided by Prospectone Sp.z.o.o., ul. Krolweska 65A, 30-081, Krakow, Poland.

 

In order to be able to deliver the content of our website quickly, the service uses so-called JavaScript libraries. Corresponding files are loaded from a third-party server that records your IP address. We have no influence on whether your IP address is processed by third parties for statistical purposes.

 

Prospectone Sp.z.o.o. offers further data protection information at https://www.jsdelivr.com/privacy-pinicy-jsdelivr-net.

 

The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in accelerating the loading times of our website and in optimizing it.

 

To prevent the JavaScript code from being executed altogether, you can install a so-called JavaScript blocker, such as noscript.net or ghostery.com. However, if you prevent or restrict the execution of the JavaScript code, this may mean that not all of the content and functions of our website are available for technical reasons.

 

 

CloudFlare (CDN)

To secure our website and to optimize loading times and the use of web fonts, we use the CloudFlare service as a so-called CDN (Content Delivery Network). This is a service provided by Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, California 94107, USA, hereinafter referred to as CloudFlare.

 

The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in accelerating the loading times of our website and in optimizing it.

 

If you visit our website, your inquiries will be routed via the CloudFlare server. Here, statistical access data about the visit to our website is collected and a cookie is stored by CloudFlare via your internet browser on your end device.


Access data includes

- your IP address,

- the website(s) you accessed from our website,

- type and version of the Internet browser you are using,

- the operating system you are using,

- the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL),

- Your length of stay on our website and the frequency with which you visit our website.

 

The data is used by CloudFlare for the purpose of statistical evaluations of access as well as for security and optimization of the offer. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser.

 

To prevent the JavaScript code from being executed altogether, you can install a so-called JavaScript blocker, such as noscript.net or ghostery.com. However, if you prevent or restrict the execution of the JavaScript code, this may mean that not all of the content and functions of our website are available for technical reasons.

 

At https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy, CloudFlare offers further information on the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights and options for protecting your privacy.

 

 

unpkg.com (CDN)

We use the Content Delivery Network (CDN) unpkg.com to enable faster loading times, reduced web server load and lower bandwidth usage (and thus optimized performance). With the CDN, website content such as scripts and style sheets are delivered faster via a network of regionally distributed servers. For this purpose, your browser must connect to the unpkg servers. This gives unpkg the knowledge that this website was accessed via your IP address. If the files in question have already been loaded from the CDN on another page, your browser will usually automatically access the cached copy instead. More info at: https://unpkg.com

 

The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in accelerating the loading times of our website and in optimizing it.

 

To prevent the JavaScript code from being executed altogether, you can install a so-called JavaScript blocker, such as noscript.net or ghostery.com. However, if you prevent or restrict the execution of the JavaScript code, this may mean that not all of the content and functions of our website are available for technical reasons.

 

 

cdn.musethemes.com (CDN)

In order to be able to display the website to you quickly and securely on all devices, we use the Content Delivery Network (CDN) cdn.musethemes.com from the Canadian software company Visual Arms Creative Corp.

 

A content delivery network (CDN) is a network of regionally distributed servers that are connected to each other via the Internet. Through this network, content, especially very large files, can be delivered quickly, even in the case of large peak loads.

 

cdn.musethemes.com works in such a way that so-called JavaScript libraries are delivered to your browser. If your browser downloads a file from cdn.musethemes.com, your IP address will be transmitted to Visual Arms Creative Corp while connecting to the cdn.musethemes.com server. However, none of this data can identify a person.

 

The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in accelerating the loading times of our website and in optimizing it.

 

To prevent the JavaScript code from being executed altogether, you can install a so-called JavaScript blocker, such as noscript.net or ghostery.com.

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

 

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases as well as to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal bases on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (Objection according to Art. 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR).

 

If your personal data are processed in order to operate direct mail, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will then no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection in accordance with Art. 21 Paragraph 2 GDPR).

 

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, the data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

 

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

 

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http: //" to "https: //" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

 

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transwith to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.

 

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

 

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the test, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If the processing of your personal data happened / happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of the data processing instead of the deletion.

 

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being deleted. If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed up. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

 

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be used with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest processed by the European Union or a member state.

 

Objection to advertising emails

We hereby object to the use of the contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

 

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies can also be stored on your device when you enter our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain third-party services (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

 

Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or to display advertising.

 

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions you require (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless a different legal basis is given. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the cookies concerned are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR); the consent can be revoked at any time.

 

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

 

Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you of this separately in the context of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, request your consent.

This data is not combined with other data sources.

 

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website - for this, the server log files must be recorded.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.

 

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

 

Inquiries by email, phone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all personal data derived from it (name, request) will be saved and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

 

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.

 

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed).
