Data Protection
The operator of these pages takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. I treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Notice to the Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Dr. Anja Röding
Könneritzstraße 46
04229 Leipzig

Phone: 0175-5537464
Email: anja@emotion-leipzig.de

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

Storage Duration

If no specific storage duration is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with me until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless I have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in this case, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, I process your personal data based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR. In case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing also occurs based on § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your data is necessary for contract fulfillment or for pre-contractual measures, I process your data based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Additionally, I process your data if it is required to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also occur based on my legitimate interest under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. More specific legal bases for processing will be explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of my business activities, I work with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. I will only pass personal data to external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if I am legally required to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if I have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using processors, I share personal data only on the basis of a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

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 for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will not process your personal data anymore, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Objection under Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing at any time; this also applies to profiling to the extent related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (Objection under Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR).

Complaint to the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to complain is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data processed automatically based on your consent or in the performance of a contract, transferred to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done if technically feasible.

Right to Information, Correction, and Deletion

You have the right to obtain information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing, and, if necessary, the right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact me anytime regarding these rights or any other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact me at any time regarding this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If I no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, I usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests and mine must be carried out. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Wenn Sie die Verarbeitung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten eingeschränkt haben, dürfen diese Daten – von ihrer Speicherung abgesehen – nur mit Ihrer Einwilligung oder zur Geltendmachung, Ausübung oder Verteidigung von Rechtsansprüchen oder zum Schutz der Rechte einer anderen natürlichen oder juristischen Person oder aus Gründen eines wichtigen öffentlichen Interesses der Europäischen Union oder eines Mitgliedstaats verarbeitet werden.

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 you send to me as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to me cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby expressly rejected. The operator of this website expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

This website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically removed by your web browser.

Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party providers within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. shopping cart functionality or video display). Other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing specific functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web traffic) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to accept cookies for specific cases or to generally exclude them, and to enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Details on which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Inquiries via Email, Telephone, or Messenger Apps

If you contact me via email, telephone, or messenger apps such as WhatsApp or Signal, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (such as name, inquiry content, phone number, email address), will be stored and processed by me for the purpose of handling your request. This data will not be shared without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling incoming inquiries (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to me via contact requests will remain with me until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., once your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—especially statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

WP Statistics

This website uses the analytics tool WP Statistics to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Veronalabs, Tatari 64, 10134 Tallinn, Estonia (https://veronalabs.com). WP Statistics allows us to analyze the usage of our website. WP Statistics collects, among other things, log files (IP address, referrer, used browsers, user origin, search engines used) and actions that website visitors have taken on the page (e.g., clicks and views).

The data collected with WP Statistics is stored exclusively on our own server. The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. I have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize both my web offering and my advertising. If corresponding consent was requested, processing is based exclusively on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

I use WP Statistics with anonymized IPs. Your IP address is shortened so that it can no longer be directly assigned to you.

6. Plugins and Tools

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps map service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. With the help of this service, I can integrate map material on my website.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the uniform display of fonts. When accessing Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of presenting my online offerings attractively and of making it easy to find the location indicated on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent was obtained, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here:

More information about how Google handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

The company is certified under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Any company certified under the DPF agrees to uphold these data protection standards. More information is available at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780
