Privacy policy

Protecting your data matters to me. This website works without cookies, web analytics or a contact form. Here you can read which data is still collected and how I handle it.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Esther Büthe, BE ArtDesign
Süchtelner Str. 127, 41747 Viersen, Germany
Email: info@be-artdesign.de

2. Hosting

This website is hosted by STRATO GmbH (Berlin). When you visit the site, the host processes technically necessary data on my behalf. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: I have a legitimate interest in providing my website securely and reliably.

3. Server log files

When you visit this site, the server automatically records information transmitted by your browser: IP address, date and time of the request, the page requested, browser type and operating system. This data is used for the technical operation and security of the website. It is not merged with other data and is deleted automatically as soon as it is no longer needed for its purpose. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4. Contact by email or phone

If you email or call me, I process your details (for example name, contact details and your enquiry) in order to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if the matter concerns a contract or pre-contractual measures, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. I do not pass your data on and delete it once the enquiry is settled and no statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Cookies and analytics

This website does not set cookies for analytics or advertising purposes and does not use any tracking or analytics services. A cookie banner is therefore not required.

6. Fonts, images and videos

The font used (Outfit) and all images and videos are hosted on my own server. No data is transmitted to Google, YouTube, Vimeo or other providers when you visit the site.

7. External links

This website contains links to external sites, for example to LinkedIn. Merely viewing my site does not transmit any data to these providers. The privacy policies of the respective provider apply only once you click a link.

8. Your rights

You have the right to information about your stored data, to rectification, erasure and restriction of processing, to data portability, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Simply write to me at info@be-artdesign.de.

9. Right to lodge a complaint

You can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for my place of residence is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany.

10. Encryption

For security reasons, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise it by the padlock symbol and “https” in your browser’s address bar.
