2. General notes and mandatory information
Data protection
The operator of these web pages takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. I treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, a variety of personal data is collected. Personal data means data by means of which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data I collect and what I use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this takes place.
Please note that the transmission of data on the Internet (e.g. during communication via e-mail) may involve security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
Note regarding the controller
The controller for the data processing on this website is:
Kristina Steffens
Traduktos Übersetzungen
Rollberg 7

Tel.: +49 (0) 160 55 63 589
E-Mail: info@traduktos.de
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).
Revoking your consent to data processing
Many data processing steps are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke at any time consent that you have previously given. To do this it is sufficient to send me an informal communication by e-mail. The legality of the data processing which has taken place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in particular cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is taking place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) letters e or f GDPR, then you have the right at any time to lodge an objection to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling carried out on the basis of these provisions. You can find out from this Privacy Policy the particular legal basis for a case of processing. If you lodge an objection I will no longer process your affected personal data unless I can provide evidence of compelling, legitimate reasons for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed in order to carry out direct advertising, then you have the right at any time to lodge an objection to the processing of personal data relating to you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling if it is connected to such direct advertising. If you object, then your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purposes of direct advertising (objection in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the person affected has the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their usual place of residence, their place of work, or of the location of the alleged infringement. The right to complain remains irrespective of other legal remedies under administrative law or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have sent – to yourself or to a third party in a conventional, machine-readable format – data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or to fulfil a contract. If you request the direct transmission of the data to a different responsible person, this will only happen insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, for example orders or enquiries which you send to me as site operator. You will recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, then the data which you send to me cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, deletion and correction
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing, and where applicable a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact me on this and other questions relating to the subject of data protection using the address cited in the Legal information.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact me on this at any time using the address cited in the Legal information. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with me, I generally require time to examine this. You have the right, for the duration of the examination, to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data took/is taking place unlawfully, then you may demand restriction of the data processing instead of deletion.
- If I no longer require your personal data but you require it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right, instead of deletion, to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a process of weighing-up must take place of your and our interests. As long as it has not yet been established whose interests predominate, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from its storage –only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons relating to an important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.
Advertising e-mails opt-out
The use of contact data published within the scope of the obligation to provide legal information for the sending of unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby opted out of. The operator of the web pages expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the case of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as through spam e-mails.
3. Data collection on my website
Cookies
[borlabs-cookie type=”btn-cookie-preference” title=”manage cookie settings”/]
In some cases the web pages use what are known as “cookies”. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help to make our Internet site more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files which are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.
Most of the cookies I use are “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit to the website. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies make it possible for me to recognise your browser the next time you visit the site.
You can set your browser in such a way that you are informed about the setting of cookies, and permit cookies only in individual cases, block the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies on closing of the browser. Deactivation of cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies needed for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping basket function) shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) letter f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the provision of its services is free of technical errors and to optimise this provision. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, these will be treated separately in this Privacy Policy.
Server log files
The provider of the web pages automatically collects and stores information in “server log files”, which your browser automatically transfers to me. These are:
- Type and version of browser
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the computer accessing the site
- Time of server request
- IP address
No merging of this data with other data sources takes place.
The collection of this data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) letter f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in presenting the website free of technical errors and in its optimisation – the server log files must be collected for this purpose.
Contact form
If you send me enquiries by means of the contact form, your data from the enquiry form – including the contact details you have provided there for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions – are stored by me. I do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is hence performed solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) letter a GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. To do this it is sufficient to send me an informal communication by e-mail. The legality of the data processing which has taken place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data entered by you in the contact form remains with me until you ask me to delete it, until you revoke your consent to storage, or until there is no longer a purpose for storing the data (e.g. after processing of your enquiry has been completed). Compulsory legal provisions – in particular legal storage periods – remain unaffected.
Processing of data (customer and contract data)
I collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is required for establishing, designing the content of, or changing the legal relationship (inventory data). This takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) letter b GDPR, which permits the processing of data in order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures. Personal data concerning the utilisation of my Internet pages (usage data) is collected,
processed and used by me only insofar as this is necessary for enabling the user to utilise the service or to charge for this.
The customer data collected is deleted following completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal storage periods remain unaffected.
