The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

2. General information

We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection rules. Personal data is any information that can identify you personally. This policy explains which data is processed when you visit this website and use its services.

3. Hosting by Squarespace

This website is provided through Squarespace. The provider is Squarespace Ireland Limited, Le Pole House, Ship Street Great, Dublin 8, Ireland. When you access the website, your IP address, device and browser information, access time and technical log data may be processed. This processing serves to provide the website securely and reliably, based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where Squarespace processes data in third countries, this takes place on the basis of the relevant data protection safeguards.

4. Contacting us

If you contact us using the contact form, by email or by phone, we process your information to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or steps prior to entering into a contract; in all other cases, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR applies. The data is deleted once its purpose no longer applies, unless statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

5. Threshold Letter and email communication

To send you the Threshold Letter, we process your email address and, where applicable, your name. Subscription is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw consent at any time through the unsubscribe link in each email or by writing to hallo@uteludwig.de. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand. Delivery and list management are handled through Squarespace Email Campaigns. Technical delivery and usage data may be processed where necessary for delivery, security and, only with appropriate consent, performance measurement.

6. Cookies and consent management

This website uses technically necessary cookies. Optional analytics and marketing technologies are used only if you have first consented through the cookie banner. You can change your selection or withdraw consent for the future at any time through the cookie settings. The legal basis for technically necessary processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; for optional technologies it is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25 TDDDG.

7. Google Analytics 4

If you consent, we use Google Analytics 4 for statistical analysis of the website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Usage data, device information, shortened or otherwise protected online identifiers and website interactions may be processed. Processing is based exclusively on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 TDDDG. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings.

8. Meta Pixel

If you consent, we use the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of advertising on Instagram and Facebook and to create audiences. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland. Page views, interactions, device and browser data and online identifiers may be processed. Processing is based exclusively on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 TDDDG. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings.

9. Appointment booking through Squarespace Scheduling / Acuity

If you use appointment booking, the contact, appointment and, where applicable, payment data you enter is processed to carry out the booking. Processing is for steps prior to entering into a contract or performance of a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Please do not enter special categories of personal data in free-text fields unless expressly required.

10. External links to Instagram, Facebook and Telegram

This website contains links to external platforms. You leave our website only when you click one of these links; the respective provider’s privacy rules apply from that point onwards. Merely providing a link does not automatically transfer data to these platforms.

11. Retention periods

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose or as required by statutory retention obligations. Once the purpose no longer applies or the retention period expires, the data is deleted or anonymised.

12. Your rights

Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

13. Security and updates

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data. This privacy policy will be updated when features, services used or legal requirements change.
