Note on the responsible entity The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

Salt N´Tales GbR

Niederstadt 15

36205 Sontra

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of data protection law, the affected person has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website If, after concluding a paid contract, there is an obligation to transmit your payment data to us (e.g. account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing. Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. For this and other questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

Objection to advertising emails The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version

Operating system used

Referrer URL

Hostname of the accessing computer

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as this is necessary for the establishment, content or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. Personal data about the use of our website (usage data) is collected, processed and used only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it. The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.
