3. General Information 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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, what we use it for, and how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

Contact Information

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Cornelia Steckhan-Horn
Jella-Lepmanstr. 44, 81679 Munich
E-mail: corkyart@t-online.de

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

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period is specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it is processed ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate right to erasure or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing it (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place once those reasons cease to apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to the data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data if necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR), or on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The specific legal bases applicable in each case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this may involve the transfer of personal data to these parties. We only transfer personal data if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis allows for the transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint controller agreement will be concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, 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 the processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to such processing, including related profiling. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive personal data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transfer this data to yourself or to a third party. 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 recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. 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 verify this. For the duration of this review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of its erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request 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 used with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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 of a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses 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 site operator. 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.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

This website does not currently set its own cookies and does not use shopping cart, payment, or third-party tracking cookies. If this changes in the future – for example through the addition of analytics or marketing tools – this privacy policy will be updated accordingly, and where required, your consent will be requested beforehand in line with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG.

Please note that even without cookies, your browser connects to Bunny Fonts' servers to load the web fonts used on this website – see “Web Fonts” below for details.

Contact Form

When you use the contact form on this website, the data you enter (name, e-mail address, optional subject, and your message) is transmitted via our web server directly to our e-mail inbox at corkyart@t-online.de. This data is not stored in a database on our server – it exists only as the resulting e-mail. From that point on, it is treated like any other e-mail inquiry – see “Inquiry by E-mail, Telephone, or Fax” below. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

Inquiry by E-mail, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, or fax (including via our contact form), your inquiry – including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) – will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via a contact request will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Social Media Links

This website contains links to our profiles on social media platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, X, YouTube). These are plain hyperlinks, not embedded plugins or share buttons. No data is transmitted to these providers simply by visiting this website. Only if you actively click on one of these links and visit the respective platform will that provider's own privacy policy and data processing apply, which we have no influence over.

6. Plugins and Tools

Web Fonts (Bunny Fonts)

This site uses externally hosted web fonts, delivered via Bunny Fonts (operated by bunny.net), to ensure a uniform display of fonts. When you access this website, your browser loads the required fonts from Bunny Fonts' servers, which are located within the European Union.

Bunny Fonts operates a strict no-logging policy and does not store IP addresses or other personal data in connection with the delivery of fonts; no data is transmitted to Google or any non-EU provider for this purpose. The use of Bunny Fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – we have a legitimate interest in the fast and reliable presentation of our website's typography.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font installed on your device will be used instead.
