The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and for what purpose we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the Responsible Body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is: Anselm Konnow, Bahrenfelder Str. 185, 22765 Hamburg, Email: anselm[at]konnow.de

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

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

If 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 arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which a processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR). If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you 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 subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR).

Complaint Right to the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, those affected have a right of complaint to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right of complaint exists irrespective of 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 party, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses 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 site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Deletion and Correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing at any time and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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 of the European Union or a Member State.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our website only uses technically necessary cookies that are required for the proper operation of the website. The content management system (Ghost CMS) used does not set non-essential cookies by default, and we do not use advertising or analytics services that would require additional cookies. Therefore, no cookie banner is necessary on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device and do not cause any damage. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions you have requested are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. 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 closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. If cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used in the future, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address This data is not merged 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 their website - server log files must be recorded for this purpose.

Contact Form

Our contact form collects the data you enter (name, e-mail address and message) exclusively for transmitting your inquiry by e-mail. The data is not stored on our servers, but forwarded directly via a secure serverless function to our e-mail server (Hetzner SMTP). For the security of the form, measures such as a honeypot field (against bots), shared token verification and a CORS allowlist are used. These serve to protect against misuse and ensure that only authorized requests from our website are processed. The processing of your data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Your data will not be passed on to third parties unless this is legally required.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your e-mail address to send you regular information about new skateboarding content, videos, images and events. Registration takes place via a double opt-in procedure to ensure that you are the owner of the e-mail address. The processing of your e-mail address is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing via the unsubscribe link in each newsletter or by contacting us. Your data is only used for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties. After unsubscribing, your data will be deleted unless there are other legal bases for storage.

Comments

For the comment function on this page, in addition to your comment, details on the time of creation of the comment, your e-mail address and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you have chosen are stored.

Storage of the IP Address Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. Since we do not check comments on our site before they are released, we need this data in order to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to Comments As a user of the page, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation e-mail to check whether you are the owner of the specified e-mail address. You can cancel this function at any time via a link in the info mails. The data entered in the context of subscribing to comments will be deleted in this case; however, not if you have provided this data for other purposes and elsewhere (e.g. newsletter subscription) to us.

Storage Duration of Comments The comments and the associated data are stored and remain on our website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. offensive comments).

Legal Basis The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke a consent you have given at any time. This requires a simple message by e-mail to us. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
