Privacy policy

1.           Introduction

This website is operated by: Martin Hahn - Photographer.

It is very important to us to handle the data of our website visitors in a trustworthy manner and to protect them in the best possible way. For this reason, we make every effort to meet the requirements of the GDPR.

In the following, we explain how we process your data on our website. To do this, we use the clearest and most transparent language possible so that you really understand what happens to your data.

2.           General information

2.1         Processing of personal data and other terms

Data protection applies to the processing of personal data. Personal means all data with which you can be personally identified. This is, for example, the IP address of the device (PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.) in front of which you are currently sitting. Such data is processed when 'something happens to it'. Here, for example, the IP is transmitted from the browser to our provider and automatically stored there. This is then processing (according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) of personal data (according to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).

These and other legal definitions can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

2.2         Applicable regulations/laws – GDPR, BDSG and TDDDG

The scope of data protection is regulated by laws. In this case, these are the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as a European regulation and the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) as a national law.

In addition, the TDDDG supplements the provisions of the GDPR as far as the use of cookies is concerned.

2.3         The responsible person

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is responsible for data processing on this website. This is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

You can reach the person responsible at:

Martin Hahn - Photographer

Venloer Str. 265, 50823 Cologne

info@rawgallery.de

2.4         Data protection supervisor

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company. You can reach it at:

Martin Hahn

Venloer Str. 265, 50823 Cologne

2.5         This is how data on this website is processed in principle

As we have already established, there is data (e.g. IP address) that is collected automatically. This data is mainly required for the technical provision of the homepage. If we use personal data or collect other data, we will inform you about this or ask for consent.

You deliberately share other personal data with us.

You can find detailed information on this below.

2.6         Your rights

The GDPR equips you with comprehensive rights. These are, for example, free information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You can also request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data or complain to the responsible data protection supervisory authority. You can revoke your consent at any time.

You can find out what these rights look like in detail and how they are to be exercised in the last section of this privacy policy.

2.7         Data protection – Our view

Data protection is more than just a chore for us! Personal data is of great value and careful handling of this data should be a matter of course in our digitalized world. In addition, as a website visitor, you should be able to decide for yourself what, when and by whom "happens" with your data. That is why we are committed to complying with all legal provisions, collecting only the data necessary for us and of course treating it confidentially.

2.8         Disclosure and deletion

The sharing and deletion of data are also important and sensitive topics. Therefore, we would like to inform you briefly in advance about our general approach to this.

The data will only be passed on on a legal basis and only if this is unavoidable. This may be the case in particular if it is a so-called processor and a data processing agreement has been concluded in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

We will delete your data if the purpose and legal basis for processing no longer apply and there are no other legal obligations to prevent the deletion. A 'good' overview of this is also provided by Art. 17 GDPR.

For all further information, please refer to this privacy policy and contact the controller if you have specific questions.

2.9         Hosting

This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This includes the automatically collected and stored log files (see below for more details), as well as all other data provided by the website visitors.

External hosting is carried out for the purpose of a secure, fast and reliable provision of our website and in this context serves the fulfilment of the contract towards our potential and existing customers.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b and f GDPR, as well as § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the end device of the website visitor or user within the meaning of the TDDDG.

Our hoster only processes such data as is necessary to fulfil its obligation to perform and acts as our processor, i.e. it is subject to our instructions. We have concluded a corresponding contract for order processing with our hoster.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. It is in our legitimate interest to provide relevant and interesting content and to enable the use and functionality of our Instagram profile.

Insofar as an enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, our processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

3.8.2    Insights

As described in the Meta Privacy Policy under "How do we use your information?" (https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/?entry_point=ig_help_center_data_policy_redirect), Meta also explains, collects and uses information to provide analytics services, so-called insights, to site operators. This also applies to our Instagram profile.

Insights are aggregated statistics that are created based on specific visitor interactions with pages and the content associated with them, and are logged by Meta's servers. This includes, but is not limited to, the following information

•              How many people see and interact with our products, services, or content, such as posts, videos, Instagram pages, listings, stores, and advertisements (if the ad is shown on Meta Products);

•              How people interact with our content, websites, apps, and services;

•              Which group of people interacts with our content or which group of people uses our services.

Meta provides us with aggregated reports and insights that tell us how well our content, features, products, and services are performing.

We do not have access to personal data, only to the aggregated reports.

To evaluate the reach, we can make settings or set appropriate filters with regard to the selection of a time period, the viewing of a specific post and demographic groupings. This data is anonymized. We are not able to draw conclusions about specific persons.

The processing of this data serves the purpose of analysing our reach and tailoring our content and advertisements to users' interests so that visitors can derive the greatest possible benefit from it. Based on the evaluations of this data, we can see how our content, profile and advertising are consumed. This allows us to create target group-oriented content and place advertising in order to better market our company and our services.

The processing is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR.

When processing personal data in the course of the so-called insights, the processing is carried out under joint responsibility with Meta in accordance with Art. 26 (1) GDPR.

3.8.3    Processing of personal data and cookies by Meta

When accessing an Instagram page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Meta. According to Meta, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses). Meta also stores information about its users' devices (e.g. as part of the "Login notification" function); if necessary, Meta is thus able to assign IP addresses to individual users. If you are currently logged in to Instagram as a user, there is a cookie with your Instagram ID on your device. This enables Meta to track that you visited this site and how you used it. Meta buttons integrated into websites allow Meta to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Instagram profile. This data can be used to offer content or advertising tailored to you.

If further data is provided in the context of the order (e.g. a different delivery address or a telephone number), these will also be transmitted to us by Etsy.

We process this data for the proper performance of the contract, in particular for delivery, invoicing, booking of payments and processing of returns and complaints.

Etsy pages may display social media buttons that can be recognized by the logos of the social media platforms. These are pure links to the respective platforms.

This right is subject to the conditions set out in Article 18(1)(a) to (d).

4.1.5    Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR

This regulates the fundamental right to receive one's own data in a common form and to transmit it to another controller. However, this only applies to data processing based on consent or contract pursuant to Art. 20 (1) (a) and (b) and to the extent that this is technically feasible.

4.1.6    Right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR

In principle, you can object to the processing of your personal data. This applies in particular if your interest in objecting outweighs the legitimate interest of the controller in the processing and if the processing relates to direct marketing and/or profiling.

4.1.7    Right to "decision in individual cases" according to Art. 22 GDPR

In principle, 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. However, this right also finds restrictions and additions in Art. 22 (2) and (4) GDPR.

4.1.8    Other rights

The GDPR includes comprehensive rights to inform third parties about whether or how you have asserted rights under Art. 16, 17, 18 GDPR. However, this is only possible to the extent that this is possible or feasible with reasonable effort.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you once again of your right to revoke your consent in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until then.

In addition, we would also like to draw your attention to your rights according to §§ 32 et seq. BDSG, which, however, are largely congruent with the rights just described in terms of content.

4.1.9    Right to lodge a complaint in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that any processing of personal data concerning you infringes this Regulation.

5.           What if tomorrow the GDPR is abolished or other changes take place?

The current version of this privacy policy is 10.11.2024. From time to time, it is necessary to adapt the content of the Privacy Policy in order to respond to actual and legal changes. We therefore reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. We will publish the modified version in the same place and recommend that you read the privacy policy regularly.
