At a glance

  • We do not use cookies or tracking, nor any analytics or marketing services.
  • We do not embed any third-party content: no social media plugins, no external videos, no maps, no external fonts. Everything you see and hear on this website is delivered by our hosting provider (see Hosting).
  • Apart from the technically necessary server log files, we process personal data only when you write to us – and only to answer your enquiry.

Hosting

This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, owner René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany, in a data centre in Germany. ALL-INKL processes the technically necessary data on our behalf (see Server log files). A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with ALL-INKL. Our email mailbox is hosted by ALL-INKL as well.

Server log files

When you visit the website, your browser automatically transmits information to the server so that it can deliver the page:

  • IP address
  • date and time of access
  • page or file requested
  • browser type and version, operating system and referrer URL

This data is processed only to deliver the website to you and to operate it securely and reliably. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in providing the website in a technically error-free and secure manner. Access logging (log files) is switched off for this website at our hosting provider: we do not store this data and do not combine it with other data sources.

Contact enquiries

If you contact us via the enquiry form or by email, we process the information you provide (for example name, company, contact details, your project and, where applicable, a link to your files) in order to answer your enquiry and prepare a quote.

The enquiry form is transmitted in encrypted form (HTTPS) to our own web space at ALL-INKL. A script there sends your information – and photos or PDFs, if you attach any – as an email to our mailbox at ALL-INKL. There is no external form service. The script stores neither your information nor your files; attached files remain on the server only briefly during transmission and are deleted automatically afterwards. To protect against mass automated enquiries, it keeps the times of your enquiries for no more than one hour – not your IP address itself, only a check value derived from it (hash). The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in a form that is protected against misuse).

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR insofar as your enquiry is aimed at a contract, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering enquiries). We delete the data as soon as it is no longer required for this purpose and no statutory retention periods prevent its deletion.

The company name you type into “Your sketch” is processed only in your browser and is transmitted only when you submit the enquiry.

Local settings instead of cookies

Your browser remembers a few settings itself. Nothing is transmitted to us in the process:

  • in local storage (localStorage): whether you have chosen “Reduce motion” and whether you have turned the sound on;
  • in session storage (sessionStorage), cleared as soon as you close the tab: whether you have already seen the intro in this tab and – only for a moment while the page reloads – your reading position and your entries, so that nothing is lost.

This storage is strictly necessary for the functions you use (§ 25(2) no. 2 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act, TDDDG). You can delete it in your browser at any time.

Your rights

You have the following rights at any time:

  • access to the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • objection to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR)

An informal message to contact@hochformat.studio is sufficient. You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf.
