Data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion is of a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly high pri\u00ador\u00adi\u00adty for the man\u00adage\u00adment of the Michael Schmitt Ltd.. The use of the Inter\u00adnet pages of the Michael Schmitt Ltd. is pos\u00adsi\u00adble with\u00adout any indi\u00adca\u00adtion of per\u00adson\u00adal data; how\u00adev\u00ader, if a data sub\u00adject wants to use spe\u00adcial enter\u00adprise ser\u00advices via our web\u00adsite, pro\u00adcess\u00ading of per\u00adson\u00adal data could become nec\u00ades\u00adsary. If the pro\u00adcess\u00ading of per\u00adson\u00adal data is nec\u00ades\u00adsary and there is no statu\u00adto\u00adry basis for such pro\u00adcess\u00ading, we gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly obtain con\u00adsent from the data sub\u00adject.<\/p>

3. Name and Address of the Data Protection Officer<\/h4>

The Data Pro\u00adtec\u00adtion Offi\u00adcer of the con\u00adtroller is:<\/p>

Michael Schmitt
E\u2011Mail: info@michaelschmitt.co.uk
Web\u00adsite: michaelschmitt.co.uk<\/p>

Any data sub\u00adject may, at any time, con\u00adtact our Data Pro\u00adtec\u00adtion Offi\u00adcer direct\u00adly with all ques\u00adtions and sug\u00adges\u00adtions con\u00adcern\u00ading data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion.<\/p>

4. Cookies<\/h4>

The Inter\u00adnet pages of the Michael Schmitt Ltd. use cook\u00adies. Cook\u00adies are text files that are stored in a com\u00adput\u00ader sys\u00adtem via an Inter\u00adnet brows\u00ader.<\/p>

Many Inter\u00adnet sites and servers use cook\u00adies. Many cook\u00adies con\u00adtain a so-called cook\u00adie ID. A cook\u00adie ID is a unique iden\u00adti\u00adfi\u00ader of the cook\u00adie. It con\u00adsists of a char\u00adac\u00adter string through which Inter\u00adnet pages and servers can be assigned to the spe\u00adcif\u00adic Inter\u00adnet brows\u00ader in which the cook\u00adie was stored. This allows vis\u00adit\u00aded Inter\u00adnet sites and servers to dif\u00adfer\u00aden\u00adti\u00adate the indi\u00advid\u00adual brows\u00ader of the dats sub\u00adject from oth\u00ader Inter\u00adnet browsers that con\u00adtain oth\u00ader cook\u00adies. A spe\u00adcif\u00adic Inter\u00adnet brows\u00ader can be rec\u00adog\u00adnized and iden\u00adti\u00adfied using the unique cook\u00adie ID.<\/p>

Through the use of cook\u00adies, the Michael Schmitt Ltd. can pro\u00advide the users of this web\u00adsite with more user-friend\u00adly ser\u00advices that would not be pos\u00adsi\u00adble with\u00adout the cook\u00adie set\u00adting.<\/p>

By means of a cook\u00adie, the infor\u00adma\u00adtion and offers on our web\u00adsite can be opti\u00admized with the user in mind. Cook\u00adies allow us, as pre\u00advi\u00adous\u00adly men\u00adtioned, to rec\u00adog\u00adnize our web\u00adsite users. The pur\u00adpose of this recog\u00adni\u00adtion is to make it eas\u00adi\u00ader for users to uti\u00adlize our web\u00adsite. The web\u00adsite user that uses cook\u00adies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the web\u00adsite is accessed, because this is tak\u00aden over by the web\u00adsite, and the cook\u00adie is thus stored on the user\u2019s com\u00adput\u00ader sys\u00adtem. Anoth\u00ader exam\u00adple is the cook\u00adie of a shop\u00adping cart in an online shop. The online store remem\u00adbers the arti\u00adcles that a cus\u00adtomer has placed in the vir\u00adtu\u00adal shop\u00adping cart via a cook\u00adie.<\/p>

The data sub\u00adject may, at any time, pre\u00advent the set\u00adting of cook\u00adies through our web\u00adsite by means of a cor\u00adre\u00adspond\u00ading set\u00adting of the Inter\u00adnet brows\u00ader used, and may thus per\u00adma\u00adnent\u00adly deny the set\u00adting of cook\u00adies. Fur\u00adther\u00admore, already set cook\u00adies may be delet\u00aded at any time via an Inter\u00adnet brows\u00ader or oth\u00ader soft\u00adware pro\u00adgrams. This is pos\u00adsi\u00adble in all pop\u00adu\u00adlar Inter\u00adnet browsers. If the data sub\u00adject deac\u00adti\u00advates the set\u00adting of cook\u00adies in the Inter\u00adnet brows\u00ader used, not all func\u00adtions of our web\u00adsite may be entire\u00adly usable.<\/p>

5. Collection of general data and information<\/h4>

The web\u00adsite of the Michael Schmitt Ltd. col\u00adlects a series of gen\u00ader\u00adal data and infor\u00adma\u00adtion when a data sub\u00adject or auto\u00admat\u00aded sys\u00adtem calls up the web\u00adsite. This gen\u00ader\u00adal data and infor\u00adma\u00adtion are stored in the serv\u00ader log files. Col\u00adlect\u00aded may be (1) the brows\u00ader types and ver\u00adsions used, (2) the oper\u00adat\u00ading sys\u00adtem used by the access\u00ading sys\u00adtem, (3) the web\u00adsite from which an access\u00ading sys\u00adtem reach\u00ades our web\u00adsite (so-called refer\u00adrers), (4) the sub-web\u00adsites, (5) the date and time of access to the Inter\u00adnet site, (6) an Inter\u00adnet pro\u00adto\u00adcol address (IP address), (7) the Inter\u00adnet ser\u00advice provider of the access\u00ading sys\u00adtem, and (8) any oth\u00ader sim\u00adi\u00adlar data and infor\u00adma\u00adtion that may be used in the event of attacks on our infor\u00adma\u00adtion tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy sys\u00adtems.<\/p>

When using these gen\u00ader\u00adal data and infor\u00adma\u00adtion, the Michael Schmitt Ltd. does not draw any con\u00adclu\u00adsions about the data sub\u00adject. Rather, this infor\u00adma\u00adtion is need\u00aded to (1) deliv\u00ader the con\u00adtent of our web\u00adsite cor\u00adrect\u00adly, (2) opti\u00admize the con\u00adtent of our web\u00adsite as well as its adver\u00adtise\u00adment, (3) ensure the long-term via\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty of our infor\u00adma\u00adtion tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy sys\u00adtems and web\u00adsite tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy, and (4) pro\u00advide law enforce\u00adment author\u00adi\u00adties with the infor\u00adma\u00adtion nec\u00ades\u00adsary for crim\u00adi\u00adnal pros\u00ade\u00adcu\u00adtion in case of a cyber-attack. There\u00adfore, the Michael Schmitt Ltd. ana\u00adlyzes anony\u00admous\u00adly col\u00adlect\u00aded data and infor\u00adma\u00adtion sta\u00adtis\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly, with the aim of increas\u00ading the data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion and data secu\u00adri\u00adty of our enter\u00adprise, and to ensure an opti\u00admal lev\u00adel of pro\u00adtec\u00adtion for the per\u00adson\u00adal data we process. The anony\u00admous data of the serv\u00ader log files are stored sep\u00ada\u00adrate\u00adly from all per\u00adson\u00adal data pro\u00advid\u00aded by a data sub\u00adject.<\/p>

6. Registration on our website<\/h4>

The data sub\u00adject has the pos\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty to reg\u00adis\u00adter on the web\u00adsite of the con\u00adtroller with the indi\u00adca\u00adtion of per\u00adson\u00adal data. Which per\u00adson\u00adal data are trans\u00admit\u00adted to the con\u00adtroller is deter\u00admined by the respec\u00adtive input mask used for the reg\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion.

7. Subscription to our newsletters<\/h4>

On the web\u00adsite of the Michael Schmitt Ltd., users are giv\u00aden the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to sub\u00adscribe to our enterprise\u2019s newslet\u00adter. The input mask used for this pur\u00adpose deter\u00admines what per\u00adson\u00adal data are trans\u00admit\u00adted, as well as when the newslet\u00adter is ordered from the con\u00adtroller.<\/p>

The Michael Schmitt Ltd. informs its cus\u00adtomers and busi\u00adness part\u00adners reg\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly by means of a newslet\u00adter about enter\u00adprise offers. The enterprise\u2019s newslet\u00adter may only be received by the data sub\u00adject if (1) the data sub\u00adject has a valid e\u2011mail address and (2) the data sub\u00adject reg\u00adis\u00adters for the newslet\u00adter ship\u00adping. A con\u00adfir\u00adma\u00adtion e\u2011mail will be sent to the e\u2011mail address reg\u00adis\u00adtered by a data sub\u00adject for the first time for newslet\u00adter ship\u00adping, for legal rea\u00adsons, in the dou\u00adble opt-in pro\u00adce\u00addure. This con\u00adfir\u00adma\u00adtion e\u2011mail is used to prove whether the own\u00ader of the e\u2011mail address as the data sub\u00adject is autho\u00adrized to receive the newslet\u00adter.<\/p>

Dur\u00ading the reg\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion for the newslet\u00adter, we also store the IP address of the com\u00adput\u00ader sys\u00adtem assigned by the Inter\u00adnet ser\u00advice provider (ISP) and used by the data sub\u00adject at the time of the reg\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion, as well as the date and time of the reg\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion. The col\u00adlec\u00adtion of this data is nec\u00ades\u00adsary in order to under\u00adstand the (pos\u00adsi\u00adble) mis\u00aduse of the e\u2011mail address of a data sub\u00adject at a lat\u00ader date, and it there\u00adfore serves the aim of the legal pro\u00adtec\u00adtion of the con\u00adtroller.<\/p>

The per\u00adson\u00adal data col\u00adlect\u00aded as part of a reg\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion for the newslet\u00adter will only be used to send our newslet\u00adter. In addi\u00adtion, sub\u00adscribers to the newslet\u00adter may be informed by e\u2011mail, as long as this is nec\u00ades\u00adsary for the oper\u00ada\u00adtion of the newslet\u00adter ser\u00advice or a reg\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion in ques\u00adtion, as this could be the case in the event of mod\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions to the newslet\u00adter offer, or in the event of a change in tech\u00adni\u00adcal cir\u00adcum\u00adstances. There will be no trans\u00adfer of per\u00adson\u00adal data col\u00adlect\u00aded by the newslet\u00adter ser\u00advice to third par\u00adties. The sub\u00adscrip\u00adtion to our newslet\u00adter may be ter\u00admi\u00adnat\u00aded by the data sub\u00adject at any time. The con\u00adsent to the stor\u00adage of per\u00adson\u00adal data, which the data sub\u00adject has giv\u00aden for ship\u00adping the newslet\u00adter, may be revoked at any time. For the pur\u00adpose of revo\u00adca\u00adtion of con\u00adsent, a cor\u00adre\u00adspond\u00ading link is found in each newslet\u00adter. It is also pos\u00adsi\u00adble to unsub\u00adscribe from the newslet\u00adter at any time direct\u00adly on the web\u00adsite of the con\u00adtroller, or to com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adcate this to the con\u00adtroller in a dif\u00adfer\u00adent way.<\/p>

8. Newsletter-Tracking<\/h4>

The newslet\u00adter of the Michael Schmitt Ltd. con\u00adtains so-called track\u00ading pix\u00adels. A track\u00ading pix\u00adel is a minia\u00adture graph\u00adic embed\u00added in such e\u2011mails, which are sent in HTML for\u00admat to enable log file record\u00ading and analy\u00adsis. This allows a sta\u00adtis\u00adti\u00adcal analy\u00adsis of the suc\u00adcess or fail\u00adure of online mar\u00adket\u00ading cam\u00adpaigns. Based on the embed\u00added track\u00ading pix\u00adel, the Michael Schmitt Ltd. may see if and when an e\u2011mail was opened by a data sub\u00adject, and which links in the e\u2011mail were called up by data sub\u00adjects.<\/p>

Such per\u00adson\u00adal data col\u00adlect\u00aded in the track\u00ading pix\u00adels con\u00adtained in the newslet\u00adters are stored and ana\u00adlyzed by the con\u00adtroller in order to opti\u00admize the ship\u00adping of the newslet\u00adter, as well as to adapt the con\u00adtent of future newslet\u00adters even bet\u00adter to the inter\u00adests of the data sub\u00adject. These per\u00adson\u00adal data will not be passed on to third par\u00adties. Data sub\u00adjects are at any time enti\u00adtled to revoke the respec\u00adtive sep\u00ada\u00adrate dec\u00adla\u00adra\u00adtion of con\u00adsent issued by means of the dou\u00adble-opt-in pro\u00adce\u00addure. After a revo\u00adca\u00adtion, these per\u00adson\u00adal data will be delet\u00aded by the con\u00adtroller. The Michael Schmitt Ltd. auto\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly regards a with\u00addraw\u00adal from the receipt of the newslet\u00adter as a revo\u00adca\u00adtion.<\/p>
