2. Data processing on this website
2.1 General access data (server log files)
When you visit our website, certain technical information is automatically transmitted to our server by your browser and temporarily stored in server log files. This information includes
– IP address of the requesting device
– Date and time of access
– Name and URL of the retrieved file
– Website from which the access was made (referrer URL)
– Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your end device
– Name of your internet service provider
This data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in ensuring the technical functionality and stability of our website. This data is not merged with other data sources. The log files are deleted after 7 days.
2.2 Contact form
If you contact us via the contact form provided on our website, we process the following personal data
– Name

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as your request is of a (pre-)contractual nature, or alternatively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering general inquiries). We store your data until your request has been finally processed or for as long as statutory retention periods exist (e.g. 6 months for business letters or in accordance with legal requirements).
2.3 Cookies and tracking technologies
Our website uses cookies to improve user-friendliness and to analyze the use of our website.
1. essential cookies: Necessary for the operation of the website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
2. analytical cookies: Record user behavior to optimize our website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, your consent).
3. marketing cookies: Enable targeted advertising (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, your consent).
You can control the use of cookies via our cookie banner and revoke your consent at any time. Please refer to our [Cookie Policy] (link) for the storage duration of individual cookies.
Important: Non-essential cookies are only set after your active consent. If you do not give your consent, only essential cookies will be used.
2.4 Use of Google Analytics
Our website uses the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze your use of the website. The information generated by the cookies is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (your consent). You can refuse your consent in the cookie banner or revoke it at any time.
2.4.1 Data transfer to the USA
The use of Google services may result in your data being transferred to the USA. From the perspective of the GDPR, the USA is considered a third country with a potentially inadequate level of data protection. We have concluded so-called standard contractual clauses (SCC) with Google, which are intended to ensure an adequate level of data protection in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. Nevertheless, there is a risk that US authorities may gain access to the data stored by Google without you necessarily having any legal remedies against this.
By consenting to the use of Google Analytics, you expressly agree to the possible transfer of your data to the USA (Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), unless there is another legal basis.
Further information on Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

The legal basis for publishing your comment is generally your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We also base the temporary storage of the IP address on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (defense against illegal content, spam).
Your comments remain publicly visible until you delete them yourself (if the website provides a corresponding function) or ask us to delete them. You can send an email to info@dennis-kwiatkowski.de at any time.

Here too, data may be transferred to the USA; the information under 2.4.1 applies accordingly.
