Privacy Policy

The use of the Internet pages of Kaffeehaus Chagall is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Kaffeehaus Chagall. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects of the rights to which they are entitled.

Kaffeehaus Chagall, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:

An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

j) Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of Kaffeehaus Chagall use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Kaffeehaus Chagall can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter access data each time the website is visited, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

The website of Kaffeehaus Chagall collects a series of general data and information with each visit to the website by a data subject or by an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server log files. The following may be collected:
(1) the browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website,
(5) the date and time of access to the website,
(6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
(8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, Kaffeehaus Chagall does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to
(1) deliver the content of our website correctly,
(2) optimize the content of our website as well as advertising for it,
(3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
(4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Kaffeehaus Chagall statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Contact Possibility via the Website

The website of Kaffeehaus Chagall contains information required by law that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

6. Comment Function in the Blog on the Website

Kaffeehaus Chagall may in the future offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on blog posts on a blog located on the controller’s website. A blog is a publicly accessible portal maintained on a website, in which one or more persons, referred to as bloggers or web bloggers, post articles or write thoughts in so-called blog posts. Blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information on the time the comment was entered and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject is stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts unlawful content by submitting a comment. The storage of this personal data therefore takes place in the controller’s own interest so that the controller may exculpate itself in the event of a legal violation. There is no disclosure of this collected personal data to third parties unless such disclosure is required by law or serves the legal defense of the controller.

7. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Rights of the Data Subject

c) Right to rectification

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)

The employee of Kaffeehaus Chagall will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
