Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

I
I am very pleased about your interest in my information. For the sake of simplicity, this privacy policy is written in the first person form, but it always refers to Claudia Garrido Luque.
Data protection is of particularly high importance to me. In general, you can use my website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services offered by me via my website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, I will generally obtain the data subject’s consent.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the applicable national data protection provisions relevant to me. With this privacy policy, I would like to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data collected, used, and processed by me. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller responsible for processing, I have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to transmit personal data to me via alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

My privacy policy is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation. This privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand both for the public and for business contacts. To ensure this, I would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
In this privacy policy, I use, among other things, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, referred to below as the data subject. A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures that ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

The controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller, or the specific criteria for its designation, may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

h) Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States are not regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, by which the data subject, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

2. Name and address of the controller responsible for processing

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

Claudia Garrido Luque

Calle Francisco Alberto Caamaño Deñó esqu. Calle Italia,

32200 Las Terrenas

República Dominicana

3. Cookies

My website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie is stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, I can provide users of this website, where applicable, with more user friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on my website can be optimised in the user’s interest. Cookies enable me, as mentioned, to recognise users of my website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use my website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data again each time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is a shopping cart cookie in an online shop. An online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie. This is only an example. I do not offer an online shop on my website.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by my website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the internet browser used and may therefore permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of my website may be fully available for use.

4.Collection of general data and information

Each time my website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, my website collects a series of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches my website, referred to as the referrer, (4) the subpages on my website that are accessed via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address, referred to as an IP address, (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on my information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, I do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) deliver the content of my website correctly, (2) optimise the content of my website and, where applicable, advertising for it, (3) ensure the long term functionality of my information technology systems and the technology of my website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. I therefore analyse this anonymously collected data and information both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within my environment, in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by me. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.







5. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

I process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which I am subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

6. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from me confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact me at any time.

b) Right of access

Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from me at any time free information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

  • the purposes of the processing
  • the categories of personal data concerned that are processed
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
  • the existence of the right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or the right to restriction of processing by the controller, or the existence of the right to object to such processing
  • the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

where the personal data are not collected from the data subject:

  • all available information as to the source of the data
    the existence of automated decision making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right of access as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact me at any time.

c) Right to rectification

Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact me at any time.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request from the controller that personal data concerning them be erased without undue delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data were collected for such purposes or otherwise processed for which they are no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
  • The personal data were processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above mentioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by me, they may contact me at any time. I will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without undue delay.
If I have made the personal data public and, as the controller, I am obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, I shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested from those other controllers the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. I will arrange what is necessary in each individual case.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above mentioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by me, they may contact me at any time. I will arrange the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability

Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which have been provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact me at any time.

g) Right of object

Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, I will no longer process the personal data unless I can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
If I process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes with regard to me, I will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact me directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision making including profiling

Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, I shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, they may contact me at any time.

i) Right to withdraw a data protection consent

Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact me at any time.

7.Data protection provisions on the use and application of Matomo (formerly Piwick) for WordPress
Paragraph

This website uses the web analytics software Matomo to statistically evaluate user behaviour on this website and to optimise our offer accordingly. The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in the statistical analysis of user behaviour.

The data are stored on servers of our hosting provider STRATO AG (Otto Ostrowski Strasse 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany). Processing takes place exclusively within the EU. STRATO acts as a processor within the meaning of Article 28 GDPR. A corresponding data processing agreement has been concluded.

No cookies are set. Your IP address is anonymised before storage, so that it is not possible to draw conclusions about individual persons.

If you do not agree with the storage and evaluation of these data from your visit, you can object to the storage and use at any time by clicking with your mouse. In this case, a so called opt out cookie will be stored in your browser, which prevents Matomo from storing session data. If you delete your cookies, this will result in the opt out cookie also being deleted and may need to be activated again.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.


Further information on data processing by Matomo can be found at: https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/



8.Data protection provisions regarding the use of Shariff

I have integrated the Shariff component on this website where necessary. The Shariff component provides social media buttons that comply with data protection requirements. Shariff was developed for the German computer magazine c’t and is published via GitHub, Inc.

The developer of the component is GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Junior Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Typically, the button solutions provided by social networks already transmit personal data to the respective social network as soon as a user visits a website on which a social media button is integrated. By using the Shariff component, personal data is only transmitted to social networks when the visitor to a website actively clicks one of the social media buttons. Further information about the Shariff component is provided by the computer magazine c’t at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Datenschutz-und-Social-Media-Der-c-t-Shariff-ist-im-Einsatz-2470103.html. The purpose of using the Shariff component is to protect the personal data of visitors to my website while still enabling me to integrate a button solution for social networks on this website.


Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of GitHub can be accessed at https://help.github.com/articles/github-privacy-policy/

9. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which I obtain consent for a specific purpose of processing. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of a service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about my products or services. If I am subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor in my working environment were injured and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital, or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest pursued by me or by a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they were expressly mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest may be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

10. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, my legitimate interest is the performance of my activities for the benefit of the well-being of all persons involved in these activities.

11. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the performance of the contract or for the initiation of a contract.

Legal or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide the personal data.

I inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides me with personal data which must subsequently be processed by me. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide me with personal data if I conclude a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact me. I will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract, is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

13. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible person, I refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.

14. Hyperlinks

To provide the user with comprehensive information, this website uses so-called hyperlinks. By clicking on such a hyperlink, the user is taken to another page. This page may be within this website, but it may also lead to external third-party providers. If a hyperlink leads to external third-party providers, it is marked with an arrow symbol at the end of the link text:

By clicking on this link, the user leaves the website. We accept no liability for the content of the linked website or for compliance with data protection regulations by the operator of the third-party website. Should you notice when visiting such a page that its content no longer relates to the content of our website, or even violates applicable legal provisions, we kindly ask you to notify us immediately (here). We will review this as quickly as possible and, if necessary, remove the link without delay.

15. Advertising

The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligations by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example via spam emails.

This privacy policy was created with the assistance of the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as an external data protection officer for Lower Bavaria, in cooperation with the data protection lawyers of the law firm WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE | Rechtsanwälte.
