Privacy Policy

This privacy policy outlines the type, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by www.regina-hildebrandt.de (hereinafter referred to as the “Provider”) in its role as the responsible entity under data protection law.

If you have any questions about data protection, you can contact us on weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. by phone at 040 5726 1251 or by email at info@regina-hildebrandt.de.

Collection of Access Data

The Provider collects data on every access to the online service (so-called server log files). These access data include the name of the accessed webpage, file name, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.

This log data is used, in accordance with legal requirements, solely for statistical analysis to improve, secure, and optimize the online offering, without being linked to the identity of individual users or used for profiling. The Provider reserves the right to review the log data later if there is specific evidence of unlawful use.

Collection and Use of Personal Data

The Provider only collects and uses personal data when permitted by law or with the user’s consent. Typically, users can recognize which data is being stored – for example, name, email address, and message when using the contact or order form.

Personal data provided for ordering goods (such as name, email address, address, payment information) is used exclusively for fulfilling and processing the order. These data are handled confidentially, transmitted securely, and are not shared with third parties unless involved in the ordering, delivery, or payment process.

When users contact the Provider (via contact form or email), their information is stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and any follow-up questions.

The Provider implements organizational, contractual, and technical security measures to ensure compliance with data protection laws and to protect data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access.

Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

User data is only disclosed to third parties when legally permitted or with the user’s consent.

This may occur, for instance, when data is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations – such as providing a shipping address to a delivery company after a shop order – or when requested by authorized entities like law enforcement.

Under no circumstances will users’ personal data be sold or shared with third parties for advertising or profiling purposes.

COOKIES

The Provider uses “cookies” as part of the online service. Cookies are small files stored on the user’s device that retain specific information.

Temporary cookies are deleted after closing the browser, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period and make stored information available upon revisiting the site.

Cookies are used to simplify use – for instance, remembering the contents of a shopping cart.

Users can control cookie usage through their browser settings, limiting or preventing storage. While the Provider strives to minimize cookie dependence, certain features and conveniences of the site may be limited without them.

CACHING

This website uses caching to provide faster response times and improved user experience. Cached pages may store duplicate versions of displayed content. These cache files are temporary and never viewed by third parties unless required for technical support. They expire according to a defined schedule or can be manually deleted by the site administrator.

Newsletter and Promotional Emails

Promotional emails about the Provider and its services are only sent with users’ explicit consent. Users can unsubscribe at any time – each email contains an unsubscribe link.

Before subscribing, users receive a confirmation email to validate their email address (double opt-in). Unconfirmed subscriptions are automatically deleted within four weeks.

Non-promotional emails related to contractual relationships (e.g., technical notifications, payment processing, order questions) may still be sent.

The Provider logs subscription and confirmation times, as well as the IP address, to comply with legal documentation requirements.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze user interactions with the website. Information generated by these cookies is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

If IP anonymization is enabled, the IP address is shortened within the EU or EEA. Only in rare cases is the full IP sent to and truncated on a US server. This website uses IP anonymization.

Google uses this information on behalf of the site operator to analyze usage, compile reports, and provide related services. The IP address collected by Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Users can disable cookies through their browser settings, though this may limit some features. Users can also prevent data collection by installing this browser plugin: Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on

Use of Facebook Social Plugins

This website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from Facebook (Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA). These plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo (a white “f” on blue tile or a “thumbs up” symbol) or are marked “Facebook Social Plugin.” See the full list here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

When visiting a page containing a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. Facebook receives information that you accessed the page. If you are logged into Facebook, your visit can be linked to your account. Interacting with the plugin (e.g., clicking “Like” or commenting) sends this data to Facebook.

Even if you’re not a Facebook member, Facebook may still collect your IP address. In Germany, only anonymized IPs are stored, according to Facebook.

For details, see Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

To prevent Facebook from linking your visit, log out of Facebook and delete relevant cookies. You can also block plugins with tools like the “Facebook Blocker.”

AFFILIATE LINKS

Some posts contain affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, we may receive a small commission – at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Link Policy for full details.

Right to Access, Correction, and Deletion

Users have the right to request, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them. Contact details are available in the site’s legal notice (Imprint).

Users also have the right to correct inaccurate data, block or delete their personal data, provided no legal obligation prevents such action.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

The Provider reserves the right to update this policy in line with changes in legal requirements, service offerings, or data processing practices.
