3 General notes and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We
treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection
regulations and this data protection declaration.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data that
can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and
what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by email)
can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is
not possible.
Note on the responsible body
The data controller for this website is:
Helen Bergmann
Feurigstraße 56
10827 Berlin
E-mail: contact@helu-collien.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the
purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your
personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies.
If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data
will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal
data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be
deleted after these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art.
6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO if special categories of data are processed
according to Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO. In the event of express consent to the transfer of
personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1)
a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in
your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally
carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time. If
your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of precontractual
measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, we process it on
the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out
on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Information on
the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this
data protection declaration.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries
that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data
may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out
that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these
countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security
authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can
therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate
and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have
no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can
revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing
carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21
GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR
REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING
BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS
BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL
NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING
LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS
AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR
DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) OF THE DATA PROTECTION
ACT).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU
HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO
PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT,
YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF
DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 DSGVO).
Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a
supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their
place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal is without prejudice to
any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent
or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machinereadable
format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will
only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, correction and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to
free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of
the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can
contact us at any time for this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal
data.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do
this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the
following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check
this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the
processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request
the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal
claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data
instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your interests
and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests
prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may - apart from being
stored - only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence
of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for
reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders
or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You
can recognise 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.
Objection to advertising e-mails
The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation to send
advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested is hereby
prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the
event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
4. data collection on this website Cookies
Our internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause
any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a
session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session
cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored
on your end device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by
your web browser.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called
third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of thirdparty
companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website
functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of
videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide
certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping basket function) or to
optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are
stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is specified. The
website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically
error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as consent to the storage of
cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried
out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1
TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only
allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in
general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you
deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server
log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a
legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website -
for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including
the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the
enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your
consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO if your request is related to the
performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual
measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the
effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your
consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked
at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it,
revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g.
after we have completed processing your enquiry). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular
retention periods - remain unaffected.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all resulting personal
data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your
request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO if your request is related to the
performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual
measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the
effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your
consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked
at any time.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to
delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer
applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory statutory
provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Elements of the social network Facebook are integrated on this website. The provider of this
service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However,
according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third
countries.
An overview of Facebook social media elements can be found here:

processing (Art. 26 DSGVO). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of
the data and its forwarding to Facebook or Instagram. The processing by Facebook or
Instagram that takes place after the forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. Our
joint obligations have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The text of the
agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.
According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection
information when using the Facebook or Instagram tool and for the data protection-secure

6. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail
address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of
the specified e-mail address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will
not be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively
for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of
your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the
data, the email address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via
the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations
already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the
newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted
from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the
purpose has ceased to exist. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from
our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate
interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.
Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be
stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if necessary to prevent future
mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be
merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with
legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art.
6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to
the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified
that an analysis is taking place.
The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website
