Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data
protection regulations applicable to our website (https://dogissick.blogspot.co.uk).
By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform the
general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we

this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the
controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures
to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this
website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have
security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason,

behaviour, location or movements.
·
f)
Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the
processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no

3. Cookies
Our
website use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer
system via an Internet browser.
Many
Internet sites 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
character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to
the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows
visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of
the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A
specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique
cookie ID.
Through
the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more
user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By
means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized
with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize
our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for
users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not
have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is
taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer
system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The
online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual
shopping cart via a cookie.
The
data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our
website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and
may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set
cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software
programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data
subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not
all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
We
collect a series of general data and information when a data subject or
automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are
stored in the server log files. Collected may be
(1) the
browser types and versions used,
(2) the
operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the
website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called
referrers),
(4) the
sub-websites,
(5) the
date and time of access to the Internet site,
(6) an
Internet protocol address (IP address),
(7) the
Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
(8) any
other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on
our information technology systems.
When
using these general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about
the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to
(1)
deliver the content of our website correctly,
(2)
optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement,
(3)
ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and
website technology, and
(4)
provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal
prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.
Therefore,
https://dogissick.blogspot.co.uk analyzes anonymously collected data and
information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and
data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection
for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files
are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Contact possibility via the website
The
website of https://dogissick.blogspot.co.uk contains information that
enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct
communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called
electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by
e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject
are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis
by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of
processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third
parties.
6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The
data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject
only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as
this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or
regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the
storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the
European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data
are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
7. Rights of the data subject
·
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have
the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the
confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being
processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of

necessary:
§ The
personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which
they were collected or otherwise processed.
§ The
data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to
point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the
GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
§ The

If one of the aforementioned
reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal
data stored by us, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the
controller. https://dogissick.blogspot.co.uk shall promptly ensure that
the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made
personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the
personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the
cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical
measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the
data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy
or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required.
https://dogissick.blogspot.co.uk will arrange the necessary measures in
individual cases.
·
e) Right of restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have
the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller
restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
§ – The

conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the
processing of personal data stored by us, he or she may at any time contact any
employee of the controller. https://dogissick.blogspot.co.uk will arrange
the restriction of the processing.
·
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have
the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data
concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly
used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit
those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which

8. Data protection provisions about the application and
use of functions of the Amazon Partner program
On this
website, the controller has integrated Amazon components as a participant in
the Amazon partner program. The Amazon components were created by Amazon with
the aim to mediate customers through advertisements on various websites of the
Amazon group, in particular Amazon.co.uk, Local.Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de,
BuyVIP.com, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it and Amazon.es in return for the payment of a
commission. By using the Amazon components, the controller may generate
advertising revenue.
The
operating company of this Amazon component is Amazon EU S.à.r.l, 5 Rue Plaetis,
L-2338 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
Amazon
sets a cookie the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. With each single call-up to one of
the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the
controller and in which an Amazon component was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject will
automatically submit data for the purpose of online advertising and the
settlement of commissions to Amazon through the respective Amazon component.
During the course of this technical procedure, Amazon receives personal
information that is used to trace the origin of orders from Amazon, and as a
result, to allow the accounting of a commission. Among other things, Amazon may
understand that the data subject has clicked on an affiliate link on our
website.
The
data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our
website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser
used, and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to
the Internet browser used would also prevent Amazon from setting a cookie on
the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies
already in use by Amazon may be deleted at anytime via a web browser or other
software programs.
Further
information and the actual data protection provisions of Amazon may be
retrieved under https://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=3312401&language=en_GB.
9. Data protection provisions about the application and
use of Google AdSense
On this
website, the controller has integrated Google AdSense. Google AdSense is an
online service which allows the placement of advertising on third-party sites.
Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed
on third-party sites to match with the content of the respective third-party
site. Google AdSense allows an interest-based targeting of the Internet user,
which is implemented by means of generating individual user profiles.
The
operating company of Google’s AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
The
purpose of Google’s AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on
our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the information technology
system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With
the setting of the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of our
website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google AdSense
component is integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology
system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google
AdSense component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of
commissions to Alphabet Inc. During the course of this technical procedure, the
enterprise Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP
address of the data subject, which serves Alphabet Inc., inter alia, to
understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently create commission
settlements.
The
data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our
website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser
used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to
the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Additionally,
cookies already in use by Alphabet Inc. may be deleted at any time via a web
browser or other software programs.
Furthermore,
Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a
miniature graphic that is embedded in web pages to enable a log file recording
and a log file analysis through which a statistical analysis may be performed.
Based on the embedded tracking pixels, Alphabet Inc. is able to determine if
and when a website was opened by a data subject, and which links were clicked
on by the data subject. Tracking pixels serve, inter alia, to analyze the flow
of visitors on a website.
Through
Google AdSense, personal data and information—which also includes the IP
address, and is necessary for the collection and accounting of the displayed
advertisements—is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America.
These personal data will be stored and processed in the United States of
America. The Alphabet Inc. may disclose the collected personal data through
this technical procedure to third parties.
Google
AdSense is further explained under the following link https://www.google.com/intl/en/adsense/start/.
10. Legal basis for the processing
Art.
6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which
we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of
personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data
subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are
necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the
processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such
processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual
measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or
services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of
personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the
processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare
cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital
interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the
case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age,
health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to
a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on
Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally,
processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal
basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the
abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of
the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except
where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and
freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such
processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been
specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a
legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the
controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
12. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller
or by a third party
Where
the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our
legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of
all our employees and the shareholders.
13. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria
used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective
statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding
data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the
fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
14. Provision of personal data as statutory or
contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract;
Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible
consequences of failure to provide such data
We
clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax
regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information
on the contractual partner).
Sometimes
it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us
with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data
subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our
company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal
data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could
not be concluded.
Before
personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact
any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision
of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the
conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the
personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
15. Existence of automated decision-making
As a
responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
