Where technically necessary session cookies or comparable storage technologies are used when visiting this website, they are used exclusively for the technical provision and functionality of the website, for example to ensure correct display or to enable language selection. They are not used for analytics, tracking, or advertising purposes.
Pursuant to Section 25(2) TDDDG, technically necessary cookies and access to information stored on a user’s device do not require consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a digital service expressly requested by the user. Where personal data is processed in this context, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
4. Contact by Email
If you contact us by email, we process the personal data you provide, in particular your email address and the information contained in your message, in order to process and respond to your enquiry.
Where your enquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contractual relationship, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In all other cases, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in processing and responding to enquiries addressed to us.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for handling your enquiry, provided that no statutory retention obligations or other legal grounds require further storage.
5. Newsletter
The newsletter is not subscribed to or technically distributed via this website.
If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we process your email address and, where applicable, your name for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis for this processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example by sending an email to post@svenbergelt.de. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected.

6. Links to Instagram and YouTube
This website contains links to external services provided by Instagram and YouTube. These are links only; content from these services is not embedded directly into this website.

In this process, personal data, in particular your IP address and information about your device, may be processed. If you are logged in to the respective service, the provider may be able to associate your visit with your user account.
Any subsequent processing of personal data by the respective provider is subject to that provider’s own privacy policy.
