Richard Golz, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 8, 16548 Glienicke/Nordbahn, Germany
Email: kontakt.golz@outlook.de · Phone: +49 176 46788948

2. Contact form and chat

When you contact us through the form or chat, we process the information you provide (name, email address and message) to handle your request and, where applicable, to take steps towards a contract. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Providing this information is voluntary, but we cannot answer your request without contact details and a message. The chat is a native function of this website, not an external chat service.

3. Form submission through Formspree

We use Formspree, Inc., USA, to transmit requests technically. Formspree receives the form data listed in section 2 and forwards it to our email address. Since a transfer to the USA is possible, Formspree may only be used under a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR and appropriate safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR, in particular the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. We provide a copy of the relevant safeguards on request. More information: Formspree privacy policy.

We delete contact requests no later than six months after they have been dealt with, unless a contract is concluded or statutory retention obligations require longer storage.

4. Hosting and server logs

This website is delivered through Cloudflare, Inc., USA. Technically necessary log data are processed, including IP address, date and time of access, page requested, referrer, browser and operating system. Processing serves secure, stable operation and protection against attacks; the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We retain log data only for as long as necessary for these purposes, then delete or anonymise them.

Where Cloudflare processes data in the USA, it may only be used under a data processing agreement and appropriate safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR, in particular EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Details of these safeguards and a copy are available through the Cloudflare Data Processing Addendum.

5. Analytics

This website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to evaluate performance and usage. According to Cloudflare, the service does not set cookies, access local storage or process personal data. No individual user profiles are created. More information: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

6. External content and design examples

The previews of high-cosmetics.de and the other design examples are delivered as a static image from our server; no third-party content is embedded automatically. Only if you actively click a preview does the respective page open in a new tab.

For high-cosmetics.de, this means visiting our client's independently operated website; their own privacy policy applies there.

The other (fictional) design examples are also delivered from our server. Some load placeholder images from Lorem Picsum (picsum.photos) when opened, which may receive your IP address. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in presenting our services clearly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The "securify" and "elias voigt" examples additionally load the React library (unpkg.com) when opened, which their interactive presentation relies on. "securify" also loads the "Readex Pro" font as well as the style compiler from cdn.tailwindcss.com, and "elias voigt" the "Space Grotesk" and "Archivo" fonts – each from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com). Each of these may receive your IP address. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in presenting our services clearly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The "securify", "zenith-realty", "woodnest", "fenvex" and "stretch" examples load video and image content from a Cloudfront store (d8j0ntlcm91z4.cloudfront.net) when opened, partly via an image proxy (images.higgs.ai); "zenith-realty" also loads the "Lato" font from Google Fonts, and "fenvex" loads payment-provider logos from cdn.jsdelivr.net. These may likewise receive your IP address. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in presenting our services clearly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

7. Fonts and local storage

We embed the Unbounded and Golos Text fonts locally; no connection is made to third-party font servers. We store your light/dark mode and language choice in localStorage only on your device. These settings are not transmitted to us and can be deleted at any time through your browser data.

8. Postal advertising

We write to businesses in Berlin and Brandenburg by post in order to offer our services. The addresses we use for this come from publicly accessible sources, in particular business directories and telephone directories; we do not collect them from you. We process the company name, where applicable the name of the owner, the postal address, telephone number, line of business and the publicly available website address.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in direct marketing under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is erased as soon as it is no longer required for this purpose, at the latest twelve months after the last letter.

You may object to the use of your data for advertising purposes at any time and without giving reasons, informally to kontakt.golz@outlook.de. You will then receive no further advertising from us.

9. Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability. Where we rely on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. Where we process your data for direct marketing purposes, you may object at any time and without giving reasons under Art. 21(2) GDPR; we will then no longer process your data for that purpose. You may withdraw consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular the authority responsible for our registered office in Brandenburg. To exercise your rights, simply contact kontakt.golz@outlook.de.
