1. Privacy at a Glance

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified.

The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the "Information on the Responsible Party" section of this privacy policy.

2. General Information and Mandatory Information

The responsible party (controller) for data processing on this website is:

Fabian Grodde
Menzelstraße 13

Germany

Contact:

Phone: +49 1776427265
Email: fabian@groddeworks.com

The responsible party 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.).

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided i have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods).

I use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that may not offer the same level of data protection as the EU. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. I point out that a level of data protection comparable to the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries.

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 before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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 necessary, a right to correct or delete this data.
