Privacy Policy

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

71332 Waiblingen, Germany
Email: [email protected]

2. Hosting

This website is hosted and delivered via Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Cloudflare processes technically necessary data (including your device's IP address) in server log files in order to deliver the website, fend off attacks and keep it running. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing the website securely and reliably (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can find more information in Cloudflare's privacy policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

3. Cookies, consent & analytics

This website does not set any cookies of its own and does not analyse your visits unless you have actively agreed. Analytics is carried out exclusively via Google Analytics and only after your consent in the cookie banner; see the next section for details.

We store your choice in the cookie banner in your browser's local storage (localStorage, entry ateliology-consent) so that the banner doesn't reappear on every page. This entry never leaves your device and is required for the banner to work (Section 25(2) No. 2 of the German TDDDG).

A language setting (German/English) is only kept temporarily in your browser's memory and is not saved when you leave the site.

4. Google Analytics (only with consent)

Only after you actively agree in the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies (including _ga and _ga_*) that make it possible to analyse how the website is used (for example pages visited, time spent and where visits come from). These cookies are stored for up to 14 months. The information generated is transferred to and processed on Google servers, possibly also in the USA.

The sole legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). Without your consent in the banner, no Google Analytics script is loaded and no such cookies are set. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking "Cookie settings" (below on this page or in the footer of every page) and choosing "Decline" in the banner that reappears. Any Google Analytics cookies already set are deleted from your browser at the same time.

5. Product images, external links & affiliate links

This website links to external platforms (Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok) and to online shops as part of affiliate partner programmes. These links are ordinary hyperlinks: no data is exchanged with these services automatically unless you actively click a link. Once you visit a linked site, only that provider's privacy policy applies. Affiliate links may set their own tracking cookies there to attribute a commission correctly; we have no influence on this.

We serve product images from our partner shops from our own server. No data is therefore transferred to these shops when you view our pages.

6. Your rights

You have the right at any time to:

• access the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
• rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
• restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)

Please contact us at the address above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

7. Data security

This website is delivered exclusively over encrypted HTTPS (TLS) to protect content in transit from being read by third parties.
