Privacy policy how I handle your data

The protection of your personal data is important to me. On this page I inform you about which data is collected when you visit this blog, what it is used for and what rights you have.

1. Controller

Silke Schabrich
c/o flexdienst – #21075
Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 74
67663 Kaiserslautern
Email: info@villabloomandcobyjona.de

2. Hosting with All-Inkl.com

This website is hosted by All-Inkl.com Neue Medien Münnich, owner René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany. When you visit this website, the server automatically stores data in so-called server log files: your IP address, the date and time of access, the file retrieved, the amount of data transferred, the browser type and operating system, and the page visited previously (referrer URL).

This data is used exclusively to ensure the smooth operation of the website and is automatically deleted after a maximum of 7 days. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure operation of the website).

3. Cookies

This website does not set any cookies of its own. The web analytics used (Matomo) also works without cookies – no cookies are stored on your device.

The one exception is advertising through Google AdSense (see section 8): Google may store cookies or similar identifiers on your device for this purpose. This only happens if you have agreed to it beforehand in the consent window.

4. Web fonts (Google Fonts)

To display fonts consistently, this website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google (Cormorant Garamond, Dancing Script and Montserrat). When you call up a page, your browser loads the required fonts into the browser cache. In doing so, a connection to Google’s servers in the USA is established, whereby your IP address may be transmitted to Google.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Further information can be found at policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Web analytics with Matomo

This website uses Matomo, an open-source software for the statistical analysis of visitor access. Matomo runs on this website’s server at All-Inkl.com – no data is transmitted to third parties. I deliberately use Matomo in a particularly data-minimising configuration:

• No cookies are set.
• Your IP address is shortened (anonymised) before storage and is not known to me in plain text.
• The “Do Not Track” setting of your browser is respected: if you have activated it, your visit is not recorded.

Only anonymised data is recorded: the pages accessed, the approximate location (based on the shortened IP address), the page visited previously (referrer), the time spent, and general technical information about the browser and device. This makes it impossible to identify individual visitors. The data is used by me solely to improve my offering and to understand which posts are being read.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data-minimising, anonymous audience measurement). As Matomo works without cookies and does not access information on your device, no consent is required for this. You can object to the recording at any time by activating the “Do Not Track” function in your browser settings.

6. Affiliate links

Some posts contain affiliate links. I mark these clearly, usually with an asterisk (*) or a note such as “advert”. If you buy something through such a link, I receive a small commission; the price stays the same for you. Among others, I use the Amazon affiliate programme (links via the short address amzn.to) and other partner programmes (links via the short address tidd.ly).

As long as you do not click on such a link, no data is passed to the partner. Only when you click do you leave this website; the provider of the target page may then process your IP address and usually sets a cookie or similar identifier so that a later purchase can be attributed. I have no influence on this; the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

Legal basis for providing the links: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in financing this website).

7. Newsletter

You can subscribe to a free newsletter on this website. For this I need your email address; giving your first name is optional and only used to address you personally. Sign-up uses a double opt-in: after submitting the form you receive an email with a confirmation link, and only once you click it is your address added to the list.

The newsletter is sent via Brevo, a service of Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. Your email address and, if given, your first name are stored with Brevo, which processes this data on my behalf (data processing under Art. 28 GDPR). More information: brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy.

You can withdraw your consent at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email; your address is then removed from the list. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent).

8. Advertising with Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), which allows adverts to be shown on this website. The income helps to keep the blog free for you.

When you open a page, your browser loads a script from Google’s servers. In doing so, technical data such as your IP address, browser and device information and the page visited are transmitted to Google. Google only stores cookies or similar identifiers on your device if you have agreed to this beforehand in the consent window; without consent, at most non-personalised adverts are shown. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the consent window.

Google may also transfer data to servers in the USA. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Legal basis: your consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. More information on how Google uses data for advertising: policies.google.com/technologies/ads and policies.google.com/privacy.

9. Your rights

You have the right at any time to:

• information about the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
• rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
• restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• object to the processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
• withdraw consent given, with effect for the future
• lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority – for Saarland: Unabhängiges Datenschutzzentrum Saarland, Fritz-Dobisch-Straße 12, 66111 Saarbrücken, Germany
