3. General information and mandatory disclosures
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Notice concerning the party responsible
The party responsible for data processing on this website is:
Moritz Abt
c/o IP-Management #11053
Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 18
20459 Hamburg, Germany
Phone: +49 152 2365 4116
Email: kontakt@moritz-abt.de
The party responsible is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Retention period
Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing it (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law).
Legal basis for processing
Where you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data where necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may further be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. We only share personal data with external parties where necessary for the performance of a contract, where legally required to do so, where we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or where another legal basis permits the data transfer.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to object to data collection (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.
Access, correction, and deletion
Within the scope of applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data — for example, while a disputed accuracy of your data is being verified, or in the event of an objection filed under Art. 21(1) GDPR. You may contact us at any time regarding this.
4. Data collection on this website
Cookies
Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. You can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and to allow them only in individual cases, or to exclude them generally.
Contact form
If you contact us via the contact form, the details you provide — including any contact information given there — will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where requested. Processing takes place exclusively server-side on our own web space; no data is transmitted to third-party services (e.g. Google reCAPTCHA). To protect against automated abuse (spam bots), the form includes a hidden field and a simple verification question; these technical values are not stored permanently. Your data remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies.

If you contact us directly by email instead, your details — including the contact information you provide — will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where requested. Your data remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies.
