3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures
Data Protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, what we use it for, and how and for what purpose this takes place.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Notice Concerning the Responsible Party
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
The Order of the Knighthood of the Golden Fusion
Musterstr. 25
CM24 8LY Musterstadt
Email: dialogue@the-golden-fusion.com
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing them (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods). In the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.
Transfer of Data to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools provided by companies based in the USA or other countries that are not considered safe from a data protection perspective. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that such countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.
For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without allowing data subjects to take legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that US authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
Revocation of Consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
In the event of a breach of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries or orders you send to us, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
Right to Access, Deletion, and Rectification
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as a right to rectification or deletion of these data.
