Legal Bases

Insofar as we have obtained the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(1a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject or for pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject, Article 6(1)(1b) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If data processing is the result of a legal obligation to which we are subject, we rely on Article 6(1)(1c) GDPR as the legal basis. If the processing of personal data is carried out to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(1d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the data processing serves a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, we rely on Article 6(1)(1e) GDPR. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests of the controller or a third party – without compromising the interests, fundamental rights, or fundamental freedoms of the data subject –, Article 6(1)(1f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

On the one hand, your data is collected when you share it with us. This may include, for example, data you enter into a contact form. Other data is collected automatically or upon your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. This primarily involves technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time regarding the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. If you have granted consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time for the future. Furthermore, you have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions concerning data protection.

General Information and Mandatory Information

Privacy Policy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various pieces of personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We draw attention to the fact that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Notice Concerning the Responsible Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Hannes Heigenhauser –

Mount Inspire Digital Content

Tiroler Straße 4

83242 Reit im Winkl

Phone: +49 1793289636

Email:

kontakt@mountinspire.com

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

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or revoke your 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, erasure will take place once these reasons cease to apply.

Notice Regarding Data Transfers to the USA and Other Third Countries

Among other services, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For instance, US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already granted 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 specific cases and against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Please refer to this privacy policy for the respective legal basis on which processing is based. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(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 personal data concerning you for the purpose of 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 subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any 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 in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

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 site operators. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Erasure, and Rectification

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the topic of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

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

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, 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, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact details published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, such as spam emails.
