Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

 

This website is operated by:  Daniel Hertlein .

It is very important to us to handle the data of our website visitors confidentially and to protect it in the best possible way. For this reason, we make every effort to comply with the requirements of the GDPR.

Below we explain how we process your data on our website. We use the clearest and most transparent language possible so that you really understand what happens to your data.

 

2. General information

 

2.1 Processing of personal data and other terms

 

Data protection applies to the processing of personal data. Personal data means all data with which you can be personally identified. This is, for example, the IP address of the device (PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.) you are currently using. Such data is processed when 'something happens to it'. Here, for example, the IP is transmitted from the browser to our provider and automatically stored there. This is then a processing (according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) of personal data (according to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).

These and other legal definitions can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

 

2.2 Applicable regulations/laws - GDPR, BDSG and TDDDG

 

The scope of data protection is regulated by law. In this case, these are the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as a European regulation and the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) as a national law.

In addition, the TDDDG supplements the provisions of the GDPR as far as the use of cookies is concerned.

 

2.3 The controller

 

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is responsible for data processing on this website. This is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

 

You can contact the controller at:

Daniel Hertlein 

Freilassinger Street 31
81825 Munich 
Munich, Germany 

info@explore-unfold-realize.com

 

2.4 How data is generally processed on this website

 

As we have already established, some data (e.g. IP address) is collected automatically. This data is mainly required for the technical provision of the website. If we also use personal data or collect other data, we will inform you of this or ask for your consent.

You provide us with other personal data consciously. 

You will find detailed information on this below. 

 

2.5 Your rights

 

The GDPR provides you with comprehensive rights. These include, for example, free information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You can also request the rectification, blocking or erasure of this data or lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

You can find out what these rights look like in detail and how to exercise them in the last section of this Privacy Policy.

 

2.6 Data protection - our view

 

Data protection is more than just a chore for us! Personal data has great value and careful handling of this data should be a matter of course in our digitalized world. As a website visitor, you should also be able to decide for yourself what "happens" to your data, when and by whom. We therefore undertake to comply with all legal provisions, collect only the data that is necessary for us and, of course, treat it confidentially. 

 

2.7 Disclosure and deletion

 

The transfer and deletion of data are also important and sensitive issues. We would therefore like to briefly inform you in advance about our general approach to this.

Data is only passed on on the basis of a legal basis and only if this is unavoidable. This may be the case in particular if we are a so-called Data Processor and a Data Processing Agreement has been concluded in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

We delete your data when the purpose and legal basis for processing no longer apply and the deletion does not conflict with any other legal obligations. Art. 17 GDPR also provides a 'good' overview of this.

For further information, please refer to this Privacy Policy and contact the person responsible if you have any specific questions.

 

2.8 Hosting 

 

This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. This includes the automatically collected and stored log files (see below for more details) as well as all other data provided by website visitors. 

External hosting is carried out for the purpose of secure, fast and reliable provision of our website and in this context serves to fulfill the contract with our potential and existing customers.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b and f GDPR, as well as § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the terminal device of the website visitor or user within the meaning of the TDDDG.

Our hoster only processes data that is necessary to fulfill its service obligation and acts as our Data Processor, i.e. it is subject to our instructions. We have concluded a corresponding Data Processing Agreement with our hoster.

 

We use the following hoster:

All-Inkl.com 

ALL-INKL.com - Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany

https://all-inkl.com/datenschutzinformationen/.

 

2.9 Legal basis

 

The processing of personal data always requires a legal basis. The GDPR provides for the following possibilities in Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1:

a) The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;

b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract

c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject

d) processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person

e) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller

f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

In the following sections, we will provide you with the specific legal basis for the respective processing.

When you visit our Instagram profile and interact with us, we process personal data. On the one hand, the data made publicly available on the profile.

b) Insights 

As explained in the meta privacy policy under "How do we use your information?" (https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/?entry_point=ig_help_center_data_policy_redirect), Meta also collects and uses information to provide analytics services, known as insights, for website operators. This also applies to our Instagram profile. 

Insights are summarized statistics that are created based on certain interactions of visitors with pages and the content associated with them and are logged by the Meta servers. This includes the following information, among others

• How many people see and interact with our products, services or content, such as posts, videos, Instagram pages, listings, stores and advertisements (if the advertisement is shown on Meta products);

• How people interact with our content, websites, apps and services;

• Which group of people interact with our content and which group of people use our services.

Meta provides us with aggregated reports and insights that tell us how well our content, features, products and services are performing. 

We do not have access to personal data, only to the summarized reports. 

To evaluate the reach, we can make settings or set appropriate filters with regard to the selection of a time period, the viewing of a specific post and demographic groupings. This data is anonymized. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about specific individuals. 

The purpose of processing this data is to analyze our reach and adapt our content and advertisements to user interests so that visitors can derive the greatest possible benefit from them. By evaluating this data, we can recognize how our content, our profile and our advertising are consumed. This enables us to create target-group-specific content and place advertising to better market our company and our services.

Processing of personal data and cookies by Meta:

When you access an Instagram page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Meta. According to Meta, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses). Meta also stores information about the end devices of its users (e.g. as part of the "login notification" function); Meta may thus be able to assign IP addresses to individual users. If you are currently logged in to Instagram as a user, a cookie with your Instagram ID is stored on your device. This enables Meta to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. Meta buttons integrated into websites enable Meta to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Instagram profile. This data can be used to tailor content or advertising to you.

4. What else is important

 

Finally, we would like to inform you in detail about your rights and how you will be informed about changes to data protection requirements.

 

4.1 Your rights in detail

 

4.1.1 Right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR

You can request information about whether your personal data is being processed. If this is the case, you can request further information on the type and manner of processing. A detailed list can be found in Art. 15 para. 1 lit. a to h GDPR.

 

4.1.2 Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR

This right includes the rectification of inaccurate data and the completion of incomplete personal data. 

 

4.1.3 Right to erasure in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR

This so-called 'right to be forgotten' gives you the right, under certain conditions, to request the erasure of personal data by the controller. This is generally the case if the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, if consent has been withdrawn or the initial processing took place without a legal basis. A detailed list of reasons can be found in Art. 17 para. 1 lit. a to f GDPR. This "right to be forgotten" also corresponds to the controller's obligation under Art. 17 para. 2 GDPR to take reasonable steps to ensure that the data is generally erased.

 

4.1.4 Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR

This right is subject to the conditions set out in Art. 18 (1) (a) to (d). 

 

4.1.5 Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR

This regulates the basic right to receive your own data in a commonly used form and to transmit it to another controller. However, this only applies to data processed on the basis of consent or a contract in accordance with Art. 20 para. 1 lit. a and b and insofar as this is technically feasible.

 

4.1.6 Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR

In principle, you can object to the processing of your personal data. This applies in particular if your interest in objecting outweighs the legitimate interest of the controller in the processing and if the processing relates to direct marketing and/or profiling. 

 

4.1.7 Right to "individual decision-making" in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR

In principle, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. However, this right is also restricted and supplemented by Art. 22 (2) and (4) GDPR.

 

4.1.8 Further rights

The GDPR contains comprehensive rights to inform third parties about whether or how you have asserted rights under Art. 16, 17, 18 GDPR. However, this is only possible or feasible with reasonable effort. 

At this point, we would like to draw your attention once again to your right to withdraw your consent in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point.

We would also like to draw your attention to your rights under Sections 32 et seq. BDSG, which, however, are largely congruent with the rights just described.

 

4.1.9 Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is in breach of this regulation.

 

5.What if the GDPR is abolished tomorrow or other changes take place?

 

The current status of this Privacy Policy is 19/07/2025. From time to time it is necessary to adapt the content of the Privacy Policy to respond to factual and legal changes. We therefore reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. We will publish the amended version in the same place and recommend that you read the Privacy Policy regularly.
