Privacy

Overview

This is a static website. It embeds no third-party services, sets no cookies, loads no external fonts or maps and uses no analytics or marketing tools. Personal data is processed only if you contact me by email, and when the page is technically requested.

Controller

The party responsible for data processing on this website is the entity named in the legal notice. You can reach it at the address given there and at info@philippfalkenhagen.de.

No data protection officer has been appointed, as the statutory requirements for doing so are not met.

Server log files

When you access this website, information transmitted by your browser is automatically stored in server log files: browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request and IP address. This data is not merged with other sources and is not analysed to identify individuals.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the technically error-free operation and delivery of the website and in defending against attacks.

Hosting is provided by Netlify, Inc., 101 2nd Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, acting as a processor bound by instructions pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. The website is delivered via a global server network (content delivery network); in the process, the data listed above, in particular the IP address, may be transferred to the USA. Netlify is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR); transfers are additionally based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR). Log files are deleted automatically after the retention period set by the provider.

Contact by email

If you contact me by email, your details are stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry relates to entering into or performing a contract, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in responding to enquiries.

Providing your data is neither required by law nor by contract. You are under no obligation to provide it; without it, however, your enquiry cannot be answered.

The data is deleted once it is no longer required for the purpose of processing and no statutory retention obligations apply — in particular the periods under § 257 HGB and § 147 AO.

Local storage in your browser

This website sets no cookies and loads no third-party content. If you dismiss the notice below, that decision is stored in your browser's local storage so the notice does not appear again. This information never leaves your device and is transmitted neither to me nor to any third party. You can delete it at any time via your browser settings.

This storage is strictly necessary in order to provide a function you have expressly requested and is therefore exempt from consent under § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG.

Persons depicted

The photographs on this website are largely taken in the course of journalistic reporting on events and matters of contemporary public interest. The publication of images of persons is governed by §§ 22 and 23 of the German Act on Copyright in Works of Fine Art and Photography (KUG); the media privilege additionally applies to journalistic work.

For commissioned work outside of reporting, images of persons are published on the basis of the consent of the person depicted or a corresponding agreement with the client.

If you appear in an image and object to its publication, please write to info@philippfalkenhagen.de. Your request will be reviewed promptly.

Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). To exercise these rights, simply write to info@philippfalkenhagen.de.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority is the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. You may also contact the supervisory authority of your place of residence.

No automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR takes place.

Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests

Where personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to such processing. The data will then no longer be processed unless there are compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
