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.

Facebook

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,

you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website on your

Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user

account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no

knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. For more

forwarding to Facebook. The processing by Facebook that takes place after the forwarding is

not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly 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 tool

and for the data protection-secure implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is

responsible for the data security of the Facebook products. You can assert data subject

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.

7. plugins and tools

your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts

and fonts correctly.

Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to

make it easy to find the places we have indicated on the website. This constitutes a

legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. Insofar as a corresponding

website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected

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
