3. General notes and mandatory information Data protection

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 and this data protection declaration. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g., communication 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 data controller for this website is: DaNatCreative FZE Dr. Natalia Wiechowski Creative Tower PO Box 4422 Fujairah, United Arabi Emirates Telephone: +97192077666 E-Mail: [email protected] 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, e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc. The controller is the person who is responsible for the processing of personal data.

Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons cease to apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a DSGVO if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 Para. 1 DSG-VO. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your terminal device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this data protection declaration.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work together with various external bodies. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary within the framework of the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a justified interest in passing on data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO or if another legal basis permits the passing on of data. When using order processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on order processing. In the event of joint processing, a contract on joint processing is concluded.

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

Right to object to the collection of data in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, 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 PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS. (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) DSGVO). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. 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 DSGVO).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, the data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal is without prejudice to 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 fulfilment 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 controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time with regard to this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restrict 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 by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of the erasure. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, 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 demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from being stored – may only be used with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of third parties.

SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

Google reCAPTCHA

Our website uses reCAPTCHA in the contact form to increase security. The term CAPTCHA is the abbreviation for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”. These are tools that can distinguish between real and automated users, such as bots.

Google reCAPTCHA is a free service from Google that allows website operators to check whether a user on their site is a human or a bot. This is to ensure that no fake users, machines or computer programs interact automatically on the website and, for example, post comments or carry out registrations. This system can prevent not only spam comments but also DDos attacks.

What data does Google reCAPTCHA process?

During the reCAPTCHA verification process, website operators and thus Google collect a range of data from the user. Among other things, Google reCAPTCHA collects information about the

  • Page that embeds reCAPTCHA,
  • Referrer URL (page from which the user comes),
  • IP address of the user,
  • End device settings (language, browser, location),
  • dwell time,
  • mouse movements and keyboard strokes,
  • screen and window resolution,
  • time zone and
  • Installation of browser plugins.

In addition, Google reCAPTCHA also checks whether a cookie has already been created in the user’s browser. If this is not the case, Google sets a cookie. In practice, this means that Google creates a fingerprint of the user for reCPATCHA, which is also recognised on other pages. This makes it possible for Google to track users across pages.

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