1) Introduction and contact details of the data controller

1.1 We are delighted that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. Below, we explain how we handle your personal data when you use our website. Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you personally.

1.2 The data controller for this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Sascha Schössow, Keilstraße 12, 17389 Anklam, Germany, Tel.: 015204868275, Email: sascha@printbysascha.de. The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2) Data collection when you visit our website

2.1 When you use our website purely for information purposes – i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information – we only collect data that your browser transmits to the website server (so-called ‘server log files’). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • The website you visited
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data transferred (in bytes)
  • Source/link from which you accessed the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used (where applicable: in anonymised form)

The processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be disclosed or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively should there be concrete evidence of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or enquiries to the data controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” in your browser address bar and the padlock icon.

3) Making contact

When you contact us (e.g. via the contact form or by email), personal data will be processed – solely for the purpose of handling and responding to your enquiry and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your enquiry is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted once it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved, provided that there are no legal obligations to retain the data.

4) Data processing when opening a customer account

In accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary if you provide it to us when opening a customer account. You can find out which data is required to open an account by referring to the input fields on the relevant form on our website.

You may delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the data controller. Once your customer account has been deleted, your data will be deleted provided that all contracts concluded in connection with it have been fully settled, there are no statutory retention periods preventing this, and we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store the data.

5) Data processing for order fulfilment

Where necessary for the performance of the contract for the purposes of delivery and payment, the personal data we collect will be disclosed to the contracted transport company and the contracted bank in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Where we are obliged to provide you with updates for goods containing digital elements or for digital products on the basis of a relevant contract, we will process the contact details you provided when placing your order in order to inform you personally in accordance with our statutory information obligations under Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. Your contact details will be used strictly for the specific purpose of sending notifications regarding updates we are obliged to provide and will be processed by us for this purpose only to the extent necessary for the provision of the relevant information.

7) Retention period for personal data

The duration for which personal data is stored is determined by the relevant legal basis, the purpose of processing and, where applicable, the relevant statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, the data in question will be stored until you withdraw your consent.

Where statutory retention periods apply to data processed in connection with contractual or quasi-contractual obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, such data is routinely deleted upon expiry of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or for entering into a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.

When processing personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purposes of direct marketing on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

Unless otherwise specified in the other information contained in this statement regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be erased when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
