Data protection

Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for Thorsten Boose. The Thorsten Boose website can be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services on my website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, I generally obtain the consent of the person concerned.

The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Thorsten Boose. By means of this data protection declaration, I would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by me. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, Thorsten Boose has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to transmit personal data to me in alternative ways, for example by telephone.

16. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves me personally as the legal basis for processing operations for which I obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If my personal website and all of its sub-pages are subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were privately injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third party [not applicable!]. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit.f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of Thorsten Boose personally or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the person concerned is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

17. Legitimate interests in processing that are being pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit.f DS-GVO, my legitimate interest is to carry out my hobby for the benefit of Thorsten Boose’s well-being.

18. Duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the period has expired, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

19. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

I would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for a data subject to provide me with personal data that I subsequently have to process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide me with personal data if I conclude a private contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the person concerned. Before the person concerned provides personal data, the person concerned must contact Thorsten Boose personally. Thorsten Boose informs the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

20. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible private user and website administrator, I do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

This data protection declaration was created by the data protection declaration generator of the DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which works as the external data protection officer in Leipzig, in cooperation with the data protection lawyer Christian Solmecke and changed personally by Thorsten Boose.
