Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the responsible body
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
Dmitrii Shapiro
An den Krautgärten 33
65760 Eschborn
Phone: 01624536147
Email: mail@linxnpix.com
The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless specifically stated within this privacy policy If a longer storage period has been specified, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert 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 your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) of the German Telemedia Act (TTDSG). This consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we will process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required to fulfill a legal obligation, we will process it on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which such processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. This right of complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we have stored based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, to have the personal data we process automatically handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.
Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing, and if necessary, the right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time with regard to this and other questions relating to personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the verification.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request that its processing be restricted instead of erased.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that its processing be restricted instead of erased.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser's address bar changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example, through spam emails.
