Privacy policy

1. Privacy at a glance General information The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. 2. Hosting and website delivery We host this website with Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Avenue #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. When you open a page, Vercel necessarily processes your IP address and an approximate location derived from it, the date and time of access, the requested address including any URL parameters, your browser identifier (user agent) and technical connection data. The purpose is to deliver the website, protect it against attacks and misuse, and detect errors. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is operating the website securely and reliably. Vercel delivers the website through a worldwide network, usually from a location near you. Pages that are generated on the server only when requested are produced by Vercel in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main, where Vercel also processes enquiry form submissions when the form is offered. Vercel runs its service on infrastructure from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Vercel also processes some of the data listed above as an independent controller, for example to detect security threats, fraud and unauthorised access; Vercel's privacy notice applies to that processing. Vercel Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, so transfers to Vercel in the USA are covered by the European Commission's adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR). Logs containing this data can be viewed in our Vercel account for no more than 30 days; we do not forward them to any other service. Vercel does not publish a fixed period after which it deletes this data. According to its privacy notice, Vercel keeps data only for as long as necessary for purposes including its legal and contractual obligations, enforcing its rights and legitimate business purposes, and then deletes or anonymises it. So that an address without a language, such as wiederjut.com, opens in the language you last used, we store the language version (de or en) in the "NEXT_LOCALE" cookie. We set it when you switch language and, depending on your browser's language setting, also when you open a page. It is a session cookie that your browser normally deletes when you close it. If you choose the light or dark theme using the switch, we store that choice in your browser's local storage (entry "theme") so that it also applies on your next visit; it is not sent to us. Both are strictly necessary to keep the language you are using and the theme you have chosen (section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG). If you choose "Find nearest" to look for the nearest workshop, your browser will usually ask whether the website may access your location. If you agree, the website works out in your browser which workshop is nearest to you; it does not store your location coordinates or send them to us or to Umami. This access happens only at your request and is strictly necessary for it (section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG). Umami records the click on the button and, if you open the workshop shown, that choice (section 4), which shows which of our workshops is nearest to your location. 3. General information and mandatory disclosures The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Controller: Mami Dang Große Straße 63 15344 Strausberg Phone: +49 152 33958491 Email: info@wiederjut.com Contact by phone or WhatsApp If you call us or write to us on WhatsApp, we process your phone number, your name where given and the content of your enquiry in order to answer it. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to entering into or performing a contract, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). In the EU, WhatsApp is provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited; its privacy policy applies to your use of WhatsApp. According to WhatsApp, this also involves transferring data to WhatsApp LLC and Meta Platforms, Inc. in the USA, for which WhatsApp relies on their certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We keep your enquiry for as long as it takes to deal with it and any resulting order, and delete it afterwards, unless statutory retention periods apply. Links to WhatsApp or Google Maps on this website are plain links: the provider receives data from you only when you open one. Your rights Subject to the legal requirements, you have the right to access the personal data we process about you and to have it rectified or erased, to restrict its processing, and to data portability (Art. 15 to 18 and 20 GDPR). You can withdraw any consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR). To do so, contact the controller named above. Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR) Where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to it at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. Here too, a message to the controller named above is enough. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the member state where you live or work or where the alleged infringement took place. The authority responsible for us is the Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und für das Recht auf Akteneinsicht Brandenburg (the Brandenburg data protection commissioner), Stahnsdorfer Damm 77, 14532 Kleinmachnow, Germany. 4. Web analytics (Umami) This website uses Umami Cloud, a web analytics service provided by Umami Software, Inc., 28 Geary St, Suite 650 #243, San Francisco, California, USA. We use it to understand how our website is used and which content leads people to contact us, so that we can improve it. Umami does not set any cookies for this. When you open a page, your browser connects to Umami, loads the analytics script from cloud.umami.is and sends measurement data to gateway.umami.is. Umami necessarily receives your IP address in the process. It records page views with the page address including any URL parameters, the page title and the referring page, as well as screen size, browser language, browser, operating system, device type, time and an approximate location derived from the IP address (country, region, city). It also records events such as clicks on phone, WhatsApp and directions links, choosing a workshop, opening the price list or successfully submitting an enquiry, each with details such as the language version, the position on the page and identifiers for the workshop, service, service variant, audience or guide concerned. The website's version identifier is also sent. We do not send names, contact details or messages from the enquiry form to Umami. Umami creates pseudonymous identifiers from your IP address and your browser identifier (user agent), combined with a secret value and a value that changes regularly. It uses them to group page views into a visit and, until that value changes, to recognise repeat visits from the same IP address and browser. According to Umami, it processes the IP address itself only transiently, for example for security, network routing and approximate location functions. Umami stores nothing in your browser's local storage; the script only reads the "umami.disabled" entry there, which can be used to switch measurement off. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in analysing use of our website with as little data as possible). Umami processes the data on our behalf under its data processing agreement, which forms part of its terms of service. Our account is set to the EU data region; however, Umami also uses subprocessors in the USA, such as Cloudflare for network and security services. Transfers to Umami in the USA are covered by the EU standard contractual clauses incorporated into the data processing agreement (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR); you can request a copy using the contact details in section 3. According to Umami, analytics data is kept for six months on our plan. We keep aggregated counts, which contain no identifiers for individual visits, beyond that period so that we can compare trends over longer periods. You can object to this processing at any time using the contact details in section 3. If Do Not Track is switched on in your browser, the script sends no page views or events; it is still loaded, however, so Umami still receives your IP address when it loads. An ad or script blocker can prevent the script from loading. 5. Enquiry form and email delivery (Resend) If we offer an enquiry form on our contact page and you use it, we process the details you enter in order to answer your enquiry. We process: your name, your contact details (email address or phone number), the selected topic, the workshop you optionally choose, an optional preferred date, and your message. We also record the language version of the page from which you submitted the form. Name, contact details, topic and message are required; you may leave every other field blank. Your details are not stored in any database on this website. They are sent as an email to our inbox. We use Resend, a service provided by Plus Five Five, Inc., 2261 Market Street #5039, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA, to deliver the message. Resend processes the message content and the data needed for delivery on our behalf under its data processing agreement, which forms part of its terms of service. Resend also processes some of this data, such as service logs and usage data, as an independent controller, for example to detect fraud, security incidents and misuse; Resend's privacy policy applies to that processing. According to Resend, this data is stored in the USA, and emails and their delivery logs are kept for 30 days. If you provide an email address, it is set as the reply address so that we can answer you directly. The form is protected against automated submissions by technical measures. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to entering into or performing a contract, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). Resend is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, so transfers to Resend in the USA are covered by the European Commission's adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR). For any transfer not covered by that adequacy decision, the data processing agreement incorporates the EU standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR). We keep your enquiry in our inbox for as long as it takes to deal with it and any resulting order, and delete it afterwards, unless statutory retention periods apply. You may object at any time to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; please use one of the other contact routes on this website to do so. A copy of the safeguards for the third-country transfer is available on request.

6. Google Analytics (only with your consent)

If you select "Accept" in the consent notice, we use Google Analytics 4 through the Google tag (gtag.js). The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). We use it to analyse which pages are visited, how our website is used and which content leads people to contact us, so we can improve our services. It records page views, visits (sessions), first visits and engagement time, as well as clicks on phone and WhatsApp buttons and successfully submitted enquiries through our enquiry form, where the form is available. A click does not show that a call took place or that a WhatsApp message was sent. Google processes in particular cookie and session identifiers, the page address and title (including any URL parameters), the referring page, timestamps, language, device and browser details, and an approximate location. With contact clicks and enquiries we also send, where available, the language version, the position of the button on the page and identifiers for the workshop, service, audience, guide or service variant concerned — never names, contact details or messages from the enquiry form. Google necessarily receives your IP address. According to Google, for visits from the EU, Google Analytics uses IP addresses on servers in the EU, Switzerland or the United Kingdom only to work out an approximate location, and discards them before the measurement data is processed further. Google processes this data as our processor under Google's data processing terms ("Google Ads Data Processing Terms"). Google Signals, personalised advertising and data sharing for Google products and services are switched off, and we do not use the data for Google Ads. Without your consent we do not load the Google tag.

The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, for setting and reading the cookies, section 25(1) TDDDG. Google uses the "_ga" cookie to distinguish browsers and a cookie whose name starts with "_ga_" to keep session state. Both are set by default to last two years, a period that can renew on each further visit with consent; your browser may shorten it. Recipients are Google Ireland Limited, affiliated Google companies including Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, and the subprocessors used to provide the service (list: business.safety.google/adssubprocessors). Transfers to Google LLC are covered by the European Commission's adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR), under which Google LLC is certified. For transfers to third countries without an applicable adequacy decision, Google uses appropriate transfer safeguards under its data processing terms, in particular EU standard contractual clauses under Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR. You can request information about the applicable safeguards and a copy using the contact details in section 3. We have set Google Analytics to keep user-level and event-level data for 14 months, and new activity does not extend that period. Google deletes expired data in a monthly deletion run. Aggregated standard reports are not covered by this setting. No later than 90 days after measurement starts on this website, and at least every 90 days thereafter, we review whether Google Analytics and its aggregated standard reports remain necessary for the stated purposes; if we stop using it or cannot justify continued use at that review, we move the Analytics property, including these reports, to the Google Analytics Trash for deletion. Google permanently deletes the property after 35 days in the Trash, unless it is restored.

Consent is voluntary. Without it you can use the website and every way of contacting us in full. You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future — using "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page or the button below this section; this does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. After withdrawal we stop measurement in this tab and delete this website's accessible Google Analytics cookies. If the decision can be saved, other open tabs of this website apply the withdrawal when they process the change. If your browser sends a privacy signal (GPC or Do Not Track), we treat it as a refusal and do not show the notice on our own; you can still expressly accept through "Cookie settings". We store your decision in your browser's local storage (localStorage, entry "wiederjut:consent"), not in a cookie: your choice, the date, the version of this notice and, where applicable, a note that you accepted despite a privacy signal. Your saved choice remains valid through the corresponding date in the following year. Afterwards we disregard it and attempt to remove the expired entry at the next check, including in an open tab. Unless a privacy signal is active, we then show the notice again, except on our legal information pages. If your browser does not allow storage, your choice applies only until you reload or close the page. This storage is strictly necessary for us to respect your decision (section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG); the legal basis for the related processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in reliably applying your decision. When you make an explicit choice using the buttons, we also attempt to send an event to Umami (section 4): "granted" for acceptance or "denied" for refusal and withdrawal, together with the language version and "consent-banner" as its source. This counts decisions made, rather than all visitors. More in Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
