If you are a resident of the United States, you have the right to access personal data we hold about you and to ask that your personal data be corrected, updated, or deleted.

In the event that personal data is processed and there is no legal basis for the processing, we obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of the data subject, always takes place in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation and the country-specific data protection laws applicable to ichbinjona.com. In this privacy policy, our company informs data subjects about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights.

For the most comprehensive protection of the data processed via this website, ichbinjona.com, as the data controller, has implemented extensive technical and organizational measures. Nevertheless, data transmissions over the internet can have security vulnerabilities, and complete protection is not possible. Therefore, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by other means.

1. Definitions

This privacy policy uses terms that were established when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enacted. To make this privacy policy easy to read and understand, we will explain the terms used beforehand:

1.1. Personal Data

Personal data means any data and information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject). An identifiable data subject is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

1.4. Restriction of Processing

Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

1.5. Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

1.6. Controller

Controller or controller for the processing is the company or person, authority, institution, or other body that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

1.7. Processor

1.10. Consent

Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

4. Cookies

The websites of ichbinjona.com use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many cookies contain a unique identifier, the so-called cookie ID. This cookie ID allows visited websites and servers to be assigned to the internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited websites to distinguish the data subject's internet browser from other internet browsers that also contain other cookies. Thus, a specific internet browser and potentially a data subject can be recognized and identified.

Through the use of cookies, ichbinjona.com can optimize the information and offers on our website for the user. Cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website.

The data subject can prevent the storage of cookies by our website at any time by configuring the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the storage of cookies. Already stored cookies can be deleted at any time. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If cookies are deactivated by the data subject, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

5. Collection of General Data and Information

Our website collects a series of general information each time it is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general information is stored in the log files of our web server. The browsers and versions used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system reaches our website, the sub-websites that are accessed on our website, the date and time of access to our website, an Internet Protocol address (IP address), the internet service provider of the accessing system, and other similar information that may serve to avert dangers from attacks on our systems can be recorded.

When using this general data and information, ichbinjona.com does not draw conclusions about the data subject. Rather, the information is needed to deliver the content of our website correctly, to optimize the advertising for it, to ensure the permanent functionality of our systems and technology of our website, and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected information is evaluated statistically by ichbinjona.com.

Furthermore, this information is analyzed to increase data protection and data security and to ensure the protection of the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the log files are stored separately from the personal data entered by the data subjects.

6. Registration on our Website (If Online Shop is published)

The data subject has the option to register on our website by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller results from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for registration. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors who also use the personal data exclusively for internal use. This use is attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website, the IP address assigned by the data subject's internet service provider, the date, and time of registration are stored. The storage of this data serves to prevent misuse of our services. This data can help to clarify committed crimes. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the transfer serves criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services that are only offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.

Within the legal framework, we provide any data subject with information about what personal data about the data subject is stored at any time upon request. Furthermore, the controller corrects or deletes personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary.

The data protection officer and all employees of our company are available to the data subject as contact persons in this regard.

7. Newsletter Subscription

On the website of ichbinjona.com, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter free of charge. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter results from the input mask used for this purpose.

ichbinjona.com informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals via a newsletter about the company's offers and news. The newsletter of our company can generally only be received by the data subject if the data subject has a valid email address and has registered for newsletter dispatch. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address entered by the data subject for the first time for newsletter dispatch to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace a possible misuse of a data subject's email address at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected within the scope of a newsletter registration will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers could be informed by email about changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances. The personal data collected for the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the subscriber at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the subscriber has given us for newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. The revocation of consent and the termination of the subscription can be done via the link located in each newsletter.

The notification to terminate the newsletter dispatch can also be sent to the controller in other ways.

9. Contact Options via the Website

The website of ichbinjona.com contains an email address, a fax number, and a phone number that enable quick electronic contact and direct communication with our company. If a data subject contacts the controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored exclusively for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

10. Comment Function in the Blog on the Website

ichbinjona.com offers users a blog located on the controller's website. Here, it is possible to leave individual comments on individual posts. A blog is a publicly accessible portal maintained on a website, in which one or more persons (bloggers) publish articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. Blog posts can be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information about the time of the comment entry and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the data subject's internet service provider (ISP) is logged. This storage of the IP address is done for security reasons in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such a transfer is legally required or serves the legal defense of the controller.

11. Subscription to Comments in the Blog on the Website

Comments submitted in the ichbinjona.com blog can be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, a commenter can subscribe to subsequent comments to a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses the option to subscribe to comments, the controller sends an automatic email as confirmation to verify whether the owner of the specified email address has chosen this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.

12. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores personal data of data subjects only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as long as this is provided for by laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or a storage period prescribed by the competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal provisions.

13. Rights of the Data Subject

13.4. Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand from the controller that personal data concerning them be erased without undue delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary:

§ The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

The data protection officer of ichbinjona.com or another employee will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without undue delay.

If the personal data has been made public by ichbinjona.com and our company as the controller is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, ichbinjona.com, taking into account available technology and the costs of implementation, will take reasonable measures (including technical ones) to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such other controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The data protection officer of ichbinjona.com or another employee will arrange what is necessary in individual cases.

13.5. Right to Restriction of Processing

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand from the controller the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:

§ The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.

§ The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

§ The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by ichbinjona.com, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of ichbinjona.com or another employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.

13.6. Right to Data Portability

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject can contact the data protection officer appointed by ichbinjona.com or another employee at any time.

13.7. Right to Object

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on these provisions.

ichbinjona.com will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where ichbinjona.com processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to ichbinjona.com to the processing for direct marketing purposes, ichbinjona.com will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning them carried out by ichbinjona.com for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject can directly contact the data protection officer of ichbinjona.com or another employee. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

13.8. Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or is based on the data subject's explicit consent, ichbinjona.com will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights concerning automated decisions, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller.

13.9. Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

14. Data Protection in the Application Process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing can also take place electronically.

This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example, by email or via a web form on the website, to the controller. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal regulations. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller stand in the way of deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

15. Legal Basis of Processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves ichbinjona.com as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and his name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(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 protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh them. Such processing operations are particularly permissible for us because they have been specifically mentioned by the legislator (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

16. Legitimate Interests in the Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

17. Duration for which Personal Data is Stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

18. Statutory or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For the conclusion of a contract, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data. If the data subject does not provide their personal data, no contract can be concluded with the data subject. Before providing personal data, the data subject can contact our data protection officer.

Our data protection officer clarifies to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.

19. Existence of Automated Decision-Making (if applicable)

Our company refrains from automated decision-making or profiling.

22. Facebook

Our website uses social plugins (plugins) of the social network Facebook. This service is operated by Facebook Inc. (Facebook), 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.

Through the integration of the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, press the Like button or leave a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible that Facebook will find out and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook's data protection notices: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this offer and link it to their member data stored on Facebook, they must log out of Facebook before visiting the website.

Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, i.e., they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

This allows us to record the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, meaning we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which we inform you about to the best of our knowledge. Facebook can link this data to your Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with its own data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
