Privacy policy

In brief

Visiting this website creates the server log data that is technically required. Fonts and graphics are served from our own server; no maps, videos or other third-party content are embedded. Only if you agree in the consent banner do we measure usage with Google Analytics 4. Without your consent no connection to Google is made and no cookies are set.

Controller

The controller for data processing on this website is MARCODES GmbH, Lena-Christ-Str. 2, 82031 Grünwald, Germany, represented by its managing director Marco Rudolf Hochmuth, email redaktion@gewerbe-steuer-sparen.de.

Hosting

The website runs on a server of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany (server marcodes-webserver-1, located in Germany). A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider.

Server log data

With every request the server automatically stores: IP address, date and time, requested address, amount of data transferred, status code, the previously visited page (referrer) and browser and operating system (user agent). This data is used only to deliver the website, keep it secure and detect errors. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is secure and stable operation. Log data is deleted after 14 days unless it is needed longer to investigate a specific security incident. It is not combined with other data.

Consent banner

Your choice in the consent banner is stored in your browser's local storage (localStorage, key "site-consent"), not in a cookie, and we ask again after twelve months. Storing it is necessary to respect your decision (section 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR).

Google Analytics 4

With your consent we use Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The purpose is a statistical analysis of how this page is used, for example which sections are read and which links are clicked. Google sets cookies (_ga, ga*) and processes usage data such as a shortened IP address, device, browser, approximate origin, pages viewed and times. We use Google Consent Mode v2 with the default setting "denied"; Google Signals and advertising features are switched off.

The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and section 25 (1) TDDDG. Data may be transferred to the USA; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and standard contractual clauses apply in addition. Data in Google Analytics is deleted after two months.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. The Analytics cookies are then deleted. More information: Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Encryption

The connection to this website is encrypted with TLS.

Contact by email

If you send us an email, we process your details to answer your enquiry (Art. 6 (1) (b) or (f) GDPR). We delete the message once it has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

Links to other websites

This page contains links, among others to gewerbe-steuer-sparen.de and, in a labelled advertisement, to firmensitz-gruenwald.de. Your browser only contacts the other website when you click a link; that website's privacy policy then applies.

Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), to object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Art. 21) and to withdraw consent (Art. 7 (3)). Please contact us at the email address above. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA) in Ansbach.
