Privacy policy

Terminology & legal basis

This data protection declaration is based on the terminology used by the European Directive and Regulation Maker when adopting the DSGVO. The data protection declaration is intended to be easy to read and understand. To ensure this, the following is a concise explanation of the terms used and the legal basis (Article 4 of the GDPR).

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller (i.e. in this case Sarah Russ Photography).
Personal data means any information relating to a data subject; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

The processing of personal data is lawful only if at least one of the following conditions is met:

Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for processing operations where consent is obtained for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a service or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) b) DSGVO. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about products or services of Sarah Russ Photography.

If the company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) c) DSGVO.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a customer needs medical assistance and as a result his or her name, age or other vital information would have to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) d) DSGVO.

Ultimately, processing operations may be based on Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis, if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of Sarah Russ Photography or a third party, unless such interest is overridden by the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. If the legal basis ceases to exist in the course of time – for example, due to revocation of consent or cessation of the legitimate interest – the personal data must be deleted or withdrawn from processing, taking into account any statutory retention periods.

Data processing

The use of the website is possible without providing personal data. For the use of individual services on the website, different regulations may apply, which in this case are explained separately below. Personal data (e.g. name, address, e-mail, telephone number, etc.) are processed exclusively within the framework of the legal regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as well as the European Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Sarah Russ Photography and in particular only for our own purposes.

Data are personal if they can be clearly assigned to a specific natural person. In this respect, the following regulations inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, use and processing of personal data by the provider Sarah Russ Fotografie.
In principle, no data of customers are stored centrally.

If Sarah Russ Photography passes on personal data to third parties (usually service providers for the processing of orders), the transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the European Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). The scope of the transmitted data is limited to the minimum necessary.

Personal data is generally deleted by Sarah Russ Photography or withdrawn from processing as soon as the purpose of processing ceases to apply. Any storage beyond this will only take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject.

For all processing operations, Sarah Russ Photography has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed by it. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions in particular may be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

Objective

By means of this data protection declaration, Sarah Russ Fotografie would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data processed in the context of the use of the Internet offers (point 2). Special processing operations accessible to the public, such as contact forms, are also addressed here.

Furthermore, all data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this data protection declaration under point 5.

The data protection declaration is thus an instrument of Sarah Russ Photography to comply with its obligations resulting from Articles 13, 14 and 21 of the GDPR.

Publicly accessible internet offers

In principle, personal data of the users of the web offers are only processed insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as the contents and services. If a data subject wishes to use special services via the website, processing of personal data could thus become necessary.

If processing of personal data is necessary from the point of view of Sarah Russ Photography, and if there is no legal basis for such processing except consent, such consent will generally be obtained from the data subject. An exception applies to those cases in which prior obtaining of consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

The declaration thus also extends to the contact form offered on the website, to order transactions and to processing operations in the course of contacting or e-mail inquiries, etc.

Provision of the website & creation of log files

A merely informational use of the Internet pages of Sarah Russ Photography, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise submit information, is generally possible without any indication of personal data. Nevertheless, the system automatically records data about each server access concerning our offer (so-called server log files) every time the Internet pages are called up. The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred in bytes, notification of successful access, browser used and version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider. The log data is used without attribution to the person of the user or other profiling only for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer. However, we reserve the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use on the basis of concrete indications.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the websites, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after 14 days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the person concerned are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling user is no longer possible.

The collection of data for the provision of the web pages and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

Google Analytics Analytics Service

The Websites use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about – if available – sociodemographic data, your use of this website (including your IP address, which is, however, shortened with the method _anonymizeIp(), i.e. anonymized, so that it can no longer be assigned to a connection) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software.

You can object to the collection of data by Google Analytics as well as the processing of the data by Google with effect for the future by installing a deactivation add-on for your browser (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO.

The data sent by us will be automatically deleted after 14 months. The deletion after the expiry of the retention period takes place automatically once a month.
