We process personal data only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content, or where you have given your consent. This website is deliberately data-minimising: we use no cookies, no tracking and no third-party analytics or marketing services.

This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, on servers within the European Union. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the hosting provider. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and efficient provision of our online offering (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

When the website is accessed, the hosting provider automatically collects information in server log files that your browser transmits: the page/file requested, date and time, volume of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL and the (shortened or anonymised) IP address. This data is used solely for technical provision, security and stability. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Log files are deleted after a short period unless required to defend against attacks.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the "https://" in your browser's address bar.

If you contact us via the contact form or by email, we process the data you provide — name, company (optional), email address and the content of your message — in order to handle your enquiry. Name, email and message are required for this; any further details are voluntary.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), the performance of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). We store the data until your enquiry has been conclusively dealt with and then delete it, unless statutory retention obligations apply. You may withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future.

To prevent spam we use technical measures (including a hidden form field and a rate limit); no additional personal profiles are created in the process.

To send and receive the emails triggered by the contact form, we use the email service of IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. IONOS processes the data on our behalf on servers in Germany (processing on behalf pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR).

This website uses no cookies and integrates no analytics, advertising or social-media tracking services. The fonts used are served locally from our server; in particular, no connection is made to third-party servers (e.g. Google Fonts). As a result, simply visiting the website transmits no data to third parties.

Our website contains links to external services, such as the login application at app.virtualcampaign.dev and our profiles on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. When you click these links you leave our website; we have no influence on the data processing that takes place there. The privacy policies of the respective providers apply.

Within the statutory framework you have the right at any time to:

• access to the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR),
• rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR),
• erasure (Art. 17 GDPR),
• restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
• data portability (Art. 20 GDPR),
• objection to processing (Art. 21 GDPR) and
• withdrawal of consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3) GDPR).

To exercise your rights, an informal message to info@herzbergmedia.com is sufficient.

Without prejudice to other remedies, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement.

Note: This privacy policy was prepared carefully for this website. Please have the text reviewed in case of any legal uncertainty.
