storage

The personal data we collect for the performance of the contract will be stored until the expiry of the statutory retention period or any applicable contractual warranty and guarantee rights and will then be deleted, unless we are obliged to store it for a longer period in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter c GDPR due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations (from the German Commercial Code, the German Criminal Code or the German Fiscal Code) or you have consented to further storage in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR.


Contact Form: Data submitted via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored to process your request and to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent. The processing of data entered into the contact form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for revocation. The legality of data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected. Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.



Basis for data collection

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The processing of your personal data is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, to provide you with our services, to protect our legitimate interests, and to comply with legal and financial regulatory obligations to which we are subject.


By using this website, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure and other processing of your personal data as described in this privacy policy.


Please read the privacy policy carefully before making any decisions.


What data is collected?

We collect two types of data and information from users.


The first category includes non-identifying and non-identifiable user data provided or collected through the use of the website (“Non-Personal Data”). We do not know the identity of the user from whom Non-Personal Data was collected. Non-Personal Data that may be collected includes aggregated usage data and technical data transmitted by your device, including certain information regarding software and hardware (e.g., browser and operating system used, language settings, access time, etc.). We use this data to improve the functionality of our website. We may also collect data about your activity on the website (e.g., pages visited, browsing behavior, clicks, actions, etc.).


The second category includes personal data, i.e., data that identifies or can identify an individual through reasonable means. Such data includes:

  • Registration data: When you register on our website, you will be asked to provide certain information, e.g.: first and last name, email address or postal address or other information.


How do we obtain data about you?

We obtain your personal data from various sources:

  • You provide us with such data voluntarily, for example when registering on our website.
  • We receive such data when you use our website or access it in connection with one of our services.
  • We obtain such data from other providers, services and public registers (for example, from data traffic analysis providers).

We do not share user data with third parties, except as described in this privacy policy.


We use data for the following purposes:

  • For communication with you (sending notifications regarding our services, providing technical information, etc.)
  • For displaying advertisements when using our website
  • For statistical and analytical purposes, which serve to improve the website.

Cookies

We and our partners use cookies to provide the relevant services. This also applies when you visit our website or access our services.


A "cookie" is a small data packet that is assigned to your device by a website when you visit it. Cookies are useful and can be used for various purposes. These include, for example, easier navigation between different pages, the automatic activation of certain functions, saving your settings, and optimized access to our services. The use of cookies also allows us to show you relevant advertising tailored to your interests and to collect statistical information about your use of our services.


This website uses the following types of cookies:


a. “Session cookies”, which ensure normal system operation. Session cookies are only stored for a limited time during a session and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser.


b. “Persistent cookies”, which are only read by the website and are not deleted when the browser window is closed, but are stored on your computer for a specific period of time. This type of cookie allows us to identify you on your next visit and, for example, to save your settings.


c. “Third-party cookies”, which are set by other online services that are represented with their own content on the page you are visiting. These can be, for example, external web analytics companies that record and analyze access to our website.


Cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information, but the personal data we store may be linked to the data contained in the cookies. You can delete cookies via your device settings. Follow the relevant instructions. Please note that disabling cookies may restrict certain functions when using our website.


The tool we use is based on Snowplow Analytics technology. The data we collect about website usage includes, for example, how often users visit the website and which areas are accessed. The tool we use does not collect any personal data and is used by our web hosting provider and service provider solely to improve their own services.


Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To ensure our content is displayed correctly and attractively in every browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache, so they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or blocks access to them, the content will be displayed in a standard font.

  • When script or font libraries are accessed, a connection is automatically established with the library's operator. Theoretically, this operator could collect data. Currently, it is unknown whether and for what purpose the operators of these libraries actually collect data.
  • Here you can find the privacy policy of the operator of the Google library: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy .


Data collection by third parties

This policy only covers the use and disclosure of data we collect from you. If you post data on other websites or disclose it to third parties online, other terms and conditions may apply. Therefore, always read the terms and conditions and privacy policies carefully before disclosing any data.


This privacy policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals other than our employees and staff, including third parties to whom we disclose this data as described in this privacy policy.


How do we protect your data?

All personal data you submit, including your payment information, is transmitted using the widely accepted and secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) standard. SSL is a secure and proven standard also used, for example, in online banking. You can recognize a secure SSL connection by the "s" appended to "http" (i.e., https://...) in your browser's address bar or by the padlock icon in the lower part of your browser window.


We also employ appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss, and unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.


Although we take reasonable steps to protect data, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who have gained unauthorized access to or misused our website, and we make no express or implied warranty that we can prevent such access.


Transfer of data outside the European Economic Area

Please note that some recipients may not be located within the European Economic Area. If this is the case, we will only transfer your data to countries approved by the European Commission as having an adequate level of data protection, or we will ensure an adequate level of data protection through a legal agreement.


Minors

Protecting children's data is especially important online. This website is not designed for or directed at children. Minors may only use our services with the prior consent or authorization of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with personal data without their consent, they can contact us at info@bootfahrenlernen-berlin.de.


Updates or changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend or review this Privacy Policy from time to time. You can find the date of the current version under "Last modified on". Your continued use of the platform after the publication of such changes on our website constitutes your acceptance of such changes to the Privacy Policy and is considered your agreement to be bound by the amended terms.
