Reef Roads / Legal

Privacy.

This notice applies to reefroads.de and explains which personal data is processed when you visit the website or contact us.

1. Data controller

André Ballentin
August-Kleinknecht-Weg 4
73734 Esslingen, Germany
Phone: +49 172 7111430
Email: kontakt@andre-ballentin.de

2. Hosting and technical access data

The website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, owner René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany. When you visit, your browser transmits data including your IP address, date and time, the requested address, browser and operating system information and, where applicable, the referring page. Technical details such as response status and the volume of data transferred are also processed.

This processing delivers the website and ensures reliable and secure operation. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of the website. The recipient of technical data is our hosting provider. A processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR covers processing under the hosting contract. Access log creation is disabled in the hosting settings. We do not produce visitor statistics from these logs. Connection data needed to deliver the website is still processed technically; disabled access logs do not mean that the hosting provider processes no technical or security data of its own. Please refer to the provider for information about its processing.

Provider information: ALL-INKL.COM privacy information.

3. Contact form, email and telephone enquiries

When you contact us, we process your contact details and the content of your enquiry to handle it and respond to follow-up questions. The form requires an email address and message; providing your name is optional. Without an email address, we cannot reply to a form enquiry. The enquiry is sent to André Ballentin by email. Message content is not additionally stored in a website database.

For enquiries relating to a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Other enquiries are handled on the basis of our legitimate interest in communication under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Hosting and email service providers are used for transmission and receipt. Data is not passed on for advertising purposes.

Enquiries are deleted once they have been fully dealt with and no statutory retention requirements or grounds for retaining them for legal claims remain.

4. Protecting the contact form

An additional field that ordinary visitors should leave empty and a sending rate limit help reduce automated submissions. For this purpose, a pseudonymous check value is derived from the IP address using a secret key and temporarily stored on the server with a counter and timestamp. The full IP address is not stored in this protection file. Check values are used for no more than 15 minutes; expired protection files are cleared on the next form submission. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is protection against spam and misuse.

5. Cookies, fonts and embedded content

The website itself does not set cookies or use analytics or advertising tracking. Images and stylesheets are loaded from our own webspace. The design uses fonts already available on your device, without contacting external font providers. No social media feeds, maps or external video players are embedded.

6. External links

Links to Instagram and andre-ballentin.de open separate websites. Displaying these links does not load an embedded service from those providers. Their respective privacy information applies when you visit them. This notice does not cover use of our Instagram profile.

7. Your rights

Subject to the applicable legal conditions, you have the rights of access (Article 15 GDPR), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18) and data portability (Article 20). Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent for the future; processing carried out before withdrawal remains lawful. To exercise your rights, please use the contact details above.

Right to object

You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (Article 21 GDPR). We will then stop processing the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds overriding your interests, rights and freedoms, or processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, particularly where you live, work or believe an infringement has occurred. For Baden-Württemberg, information is available from the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

8. Security and automated decisions

The website and contact form are transmitted over HTTPS. This website does not use automated decision-making, including profiling.
