3. General notes and mandatory information

Data Protection

The operators of these sites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., during communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the Responsible Entity

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Frank Thomä
Königstr. 37
70173 Stuttgart

Phone: +49 (0)176-52828003
Email: frank@lomi-wai-massage.de

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Retention Period

Unless a specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data ceases. If you assert a legitimate deletion request or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to apply.

General Notes on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR or Article 9 Paragraph 2 Letter a GDPR, as long as special categories of data are processed under Article 9 Paragraph 1 GDPR. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing will also take place based on Article 49 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing will also take place based on Section 25 Paragraph 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for contract performance or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is required to fulfill a legal obligation based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR. Data processing may also occur based on our legitimate interest according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. The respective legal bases for processing will be disclosed in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not provide adequate data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that in these countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies are required to release personal data to security authorities without the possibility for you, as the data subject, to take legal action against it. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases as well as Against Direct Advertising (Article 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6 PARAGRAPH 1 LETTER E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 PARAGRAPH 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 PARAGRAPH 2 GDPR).

Right to Complain to the Responsible Supervisory Authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to complain exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract disclosed to you or to a third party in a commonly used machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only occur to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, correction, and deletion

You have the right, under applicable legal provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions concerning personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the review period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data has occurred or is occurring unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have filed an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet clear which interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed – apart from their storage – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or they are deleted automatically by your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third parties within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used for evaluating user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audiences) are stored based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing occurs solely on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

Consent with Complianz

Our website uses the consent technology from Complianz to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of specific technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection laws. The provider of this technology is Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands (hereinafter "Complianz").

Complianz is hosted on our servers, so there is no connection to the servers of the Complianz provider. Complianz stores a cookie in your browser to assign the consents you have given or their revocation. The data collected in this way are stored until you request the deletion, delete the Complianz cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage ceases to exist. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

The use of Complianz is to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively addressing inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been solicited; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after we have completed processing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via email, phone, or fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of addressing your concern. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively addressing inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been solicited; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you sent to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after we have completed processing your concern). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly legal retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In this context, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of stay, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. This data is assigned to the respective user’s end device. An assignment to a user ID does not occur.

Furthermore, we can record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks with Google Analytics. Additionally, Google Analytics uses various modeling techniques to complement the collected datasets and employs machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that allow for the recognition of users for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

You can find more information on handling user data with Google Analytics in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Order processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to store the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the purpose ceases to apply, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the framework of our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be saved in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in compliance with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with enhanced privacy

This website incorporates videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. Thus, YouTube – regardless of whether you watch a video – establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. In this process, YouTube is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraudulent attempts.

After starting a YouTube video, additional data processing operations may be triggered, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube serves the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is based solely on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, as far as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) in the sense of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information about data protection on YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Vimeo without tracking (Do-Not-Track)

This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with Vimeo videos, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. The Vimeo server is informed which of our pages you have visited. Furthermore, Vimeo obtains your IP address. However, we have configured Vimeo so that it does not track your user activities or set cookies.

The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If explicit consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission and, according to Vimeo, on 'legitimate business interests.' You can find details here: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Google Maps

This page uses the mapping service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ('Google'), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this page has no influence on this data transfer. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for a consistent presentation of fonts. When Google Maps is called up, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and an easy findability of the locations we have specified on the website. This represents a legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If explicit consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, as far as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) in the sense of TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

We have integrated Wordfence on this website. The provider is Defiant Inc., Defiant, Inc., 800 5th Ave Ste 4100, Seattle, WA 98104, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Wordfence").

Wordfence is used to protect our website from unauthorized access or malicious cyberattacks. For this purpose, our website establishes a permanent connection to Wordfence's servers so that Wordfence can compare its databases with accesses made on our website and can block them if necessary.

The use of Wordfence is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in providing effective protection for their website against cyberattacks. If appropriate consent was requested, processing will only be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, as far as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.wordfence.com/help/general-data-protection-regulation/.
