PRIVACY POLICY


1. Controller

The controller responsible for the processing of personal data on this website is:

Pierre Zoller

E-mail: pierre@piek7.de


2. General information

I take the protection of your personal data seriously.

This website is used to present my artwork, my artistic work and information about myself. You can generally use this website without actively providing any personal information.

Personal data is processed only where this is necessary for the technical operation of the website, to respond to enquiries sent by e-mail, or for functions that you actively use.

The processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable German data protection law.


3. Hosting

This website is hosted by STRATO and operated using the WordPress content management system.

When you visit this website, technically necessary data is automatically processed by the web server. This may include:

  • IP address
  • date and time of access
  • requested pages or files
  • amount of data transferred
  • browser type and browser version
  • operating system
  • referrer URL

This data is processed to ensure the secure and technically reliable operation of the website and to detect and prevent misuse or attacks.

According to STRATO, IP addresses of visitors are stored in server log files for a maximum of seven days for the purpose of detecting and preventing attacks.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of this website.


4. Contact by e-mail

This website does not use a contact form.

If you contact me by e-mail, the personal data you provide will be processed. This may include your name, e-mail address and the content of your message.

The purpose of processing is to respond to your enquiry and to communicate with you.

Where your enquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

For other enquiries, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on my legitimate interest in responding to enquiries addressed to me.

Your data will be deleted when the purpose of the communication has been fulfilled and there are no statutory retention obligations requiring further storage.


5. Link to Instagram

This website contains a link to my Instagram profile.

The Instagram content is not embedded directly into this website. No Instagram content is loaded when you simply visit this website.

Only when you click the Instagram link will you leave this website and access Instagram.

The processing of personal data on Instagram is governed by Instagram’s own privacy policy and is the responsibility of the operator of Instagram.


6. Cookies

This website may use technically necessary cookies required for the operation and basic functionality of the website.

STRATO states that websites hosted with its services may use session cookies. These cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.

Additional cookies or similar technologies may be used if third-party services or additional WordPress functions are activated.

No statement is made here about optional analytics, advertising or other third-party cookies unless such services are actually used on this website.


7. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, subject to the applicable legal requirements:

  • Right of access – Art. 15 GDPR
  • Right to rectification – Art. 16 GDPR
  • Right to erasure – Art. 17 GDPR
  • Right to restriction of processing – Art. 18 GDPR
  • Right to data portability – Art. 20 GDPR
  • Right to object – Art. 21 GDPR

Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.


8. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection law.

As I am based in Berlin, the competent supervisory authority is:

Germany

The authority is responsible for supervising compliance with data protection law by organisations and businesses based in Berlin.
