Privacy Policy
General Information
We, at Make . Your . Self, Dohlenweg 1 in 52134 Herzogenrath, take the protection of your personal data very seriously and adhere strictly to the rules of data protection laws. Personal data is only collected on this website to the extent technically necessary. Under no circumstances will the collected data be sold or passed on to third parties for other reasons.
The following statement gives you an overview of how we ensure this protection and what kind of data is collected for what purpose.
Data subprocessors
Hosting (Goneo)
This site is hosted on the servers of goneo Internet GmbH. When this website is called up, the information described in the section “Server log data” is transmitted to the provider.
More information about the handling of user data can be found in the privacy policy of goneo Internet GmbH.
Payments (PayPal)
We offer the option to process the payment transaction via the payment service provider PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg). This is in line with our legitimate interest in offering an efficient and secure payment method (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). In this context, we share the following data with PayPal to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit b. DSGVO).
- First name
- Last name
- Address
- E-mail address
- Telephone number
The processing of the data provided under this section is not required by law or contract. Without the transmission of your personal data, we cannot carry out a payment via PayPal.
PayPal carries out a credit check for various services such as payment by direct debit in order to ensure your willingness and ability to pay. This corresponds to the legitimate interest of PayPal (according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) and serves the execution of the contract (according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO). For this purpose, your data (name, address and date of birth, bank account details) will be passed on to credit agencies. We have no influence on this process and only receive the result of whether the payment has been made or rejected or a check is pending.
You can find more information about objection and removal options vis-à-vis PayPal at: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
Your data will be stored until the payment processing is completed. This also includes the period required for the processing of refunds, claims management and fraud prevention.
Appointments (Google Calendar)
This site uses the calendar service Google Calendar via an API. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To use the functions of Google Calendar, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.
Google Calendar is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and an easy location of the dates and events offered by us. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy.
Videos (YouTube)
We use the provider YouTube to embed videos. YouTube uses cookies to collect information about visitors. YouTube uses these, among other things, to collect video statistics, to prevent fraud and to improve the user experience. Also, this leads to a connection with the Google DoubleClick network. When you start the video, this could trigger further data processing operations. We have no control over this. For more information about data protection at YouTube, please see their privacy policy at: https://www.youtube.com/t/privacy_at_youtube
Server Logs
For technical reasons, for defense, analysis and tracking of attacks on our websites, our web server automatically collects and stores in the log files data that your browser sends to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL (previously visited website)
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data cannot be assigned to any specific person. This data is not merged with other data sources, and the data is deleted after 24 hours.
Cookies
Our website only uses so-called “session cookies“. These do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
External links
Our website contains links (redirects) to other websites. External links, i.e. links to websites of third party information providers, are characterized by the fact that when you approach the link with the mouse, the corresponding target URL is displayed in your browser address bar. We are not responsible for the content of pages that are reached by means of such a link. The data processing there takes place within the framework of the data protection declarations of the respective providers. The expressions of opinion and/or statements of fact reproduced on the linked pages are the sole responsibility of the respective providers and do not reflect the opinion of the responsible party.
Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content (e.g. your input in the contact form), we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (SSL or TLS). We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.
Forms
If you use the personal forms offered on our website, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the respective specific inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties. With your consent, we also use your contact data to inform you about news or current events, for example.
The transmission of your data entered in the personal form and further processing by us will only take place after your active declaration of consent in the form with the processing of your data in accordance with this privacy policy and thus on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to the responsible person is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you entered in the personal form will be stored by us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for data processing no longer applies (e.g. after processing your request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Advertising e-mails
(Art. 21 DSGVO)
The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam mails.
Data subject rights
…information, blocking and removal
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions (Art. 15 EU-DSGVO in conjunction with §34 BDSG), you have the right at any time to free information about your personal data stored by us, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification (Art. 16 EU-DSGVO), blocking (Art. 18 EU-DSGVO) or deletion (Art. 17 EU-DSGVO in conjunction with §35 BDSG) of this data. In accordance with Art. 21 EU-DSGVO, you can object to the use of your data for advertising and market research purposes at any time. If your data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit f EU-DSGVO to protect our legitimate interests, you can object to this processing provided that there are no compelling reasons worthy of protection.
…transferability
(Art. 20 DSGVO)
You have the right to have your data, which we process automatically, 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.
…complain
(Art. 77 DSGVO)
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 EU-DSGVO if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful.
