2. General Information and Mandatory Details

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Your personal data is treated confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is 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.

Please note that data transmission on the internet (e.g. communication by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Richard Hohmann
Schöne Aussicht 5
53359 Rheinbach
Germany

Phone: +49 170 5640228
Email: richie.fitnesscoaching@gmail.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, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. statutory tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, erasure will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases of data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed, on the basis of Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on 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), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The applicable legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may also require the transfer of personal data to these parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we pass on personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements 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, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract transmitted to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out if it is technically feasible.

Access, rectification and erasure

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.

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 at the address given in the legal notice for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, 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 request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may 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 of a Member State.

SSL and 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.

Payment processing via Lemon Squeezy

For the sale and payment processing of digital products via our website, we use the service “Lemon Squeezy”, operated by Lemon Squeezy, LLC, 222 400 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84101, USA. When you purchase a paid product, payment processing is carried out by this third-party provider. In this context, your payment data (e.g. name, billing address, payment information) is collected and processed directly by Lemon Squeezy. The processing of your data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract) and, where applicable, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and efficient payment processing).

Payment transactions via Lemon Squeezy are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the address line of your browser (“https://”) and the lock symbol. This encryption ensures that your payment data cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may be placed by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow certain services of third-party companies to be integrated within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them. Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart function) or for optimising the website (e.g. cookies to measure web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR 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. If consent for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure 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 specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Consent with Borlabs Cookie

Our website uses the consent technology of Borlabs Cookie to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser or to the use of certain technologies and to document this in a manner compliant with data protection requirements. The provider of this technology is Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg, Germany (“Borlabs”).

When you enter our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the withdrawal of these consents are stored. This data is not passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

The collected data is stored until you ask us to erase it or delete the Borlabs cookie yourself or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by Borlabs Cookie can be found at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.

The use of the Borlabs Cookie consent technology serves to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

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. This includes:

• Browser type and browser 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(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of the website – the server log files must be collected for this purpose.

Use of Typeform as a contact form

For contact requests via our website, we use the service “Typeform” of TYPEFORM S.L., C/Bac de Roda, 163, 08018 Barcelona, Spain. The data you enter in the contact form is collected, processed and stored by Typeform. This processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for handling your enquiry or, if you have given consent, on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Typeform may pass your data on to sub-processors if this is necessary for the provision of the service. Further information on data processing by Typeform can be found in Typeform’s privacy policy at https://www.typeform.com/privacy.

Enquiries by email or telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry), is stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

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

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is required for the establishment, content or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. Personal data on the use of our website (usage data) is collected, processed and used only to the extent necessary to enable or bill the user for the use of the service.

The collected customer data will be erased after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

This makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of advertising campaigns for statistical and market research purposes and to optimise future advertising measures.

Data collection and evaluation are carried out as joint processing by us and Meta within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. The data collected is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to identify individual users; however, Meta may link this data to existing user profiles on Facebook or Instagram. It cannot be ruled out that personal data is also transferred to the USA.

Meta Pixel is only activated if you have agreed to the relevant category in the consent banner; you can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings on our website.

Meta also uses the collected data for its own purposes, in particular to display personalised advertising within the Meta network and for its own analysis and market research purposes. We have no influence on this data processing by Meta; it takes place under Meta’s own responsibility in accordance with the applicable data protection provisions.
