Responsible according to § 5 TMG

Birgit Zinth

This is not a commercial website. This website serves as an artistic showroom, aiming at presenting a great part of my work achieved over the last two decades.

Copyright

All content of this website is protected by copyright. In particular, my photographic work is subject to the protection of general personal rights. Any duplication, distribution, public reproduction and any kind of exploitation, including the processing of such content, requires the express consent of the respective copyright holder.

Considering content on this website which was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected as much as it was possible. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please inform us accordingly. If we become aware of any infringements, I will remove such content immediately.

Liability for content

As a service provider, I am responsible for my own content on this website in accordance with the general laws pursuant to § 7 Abs. 1 TMG. According to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, I am not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under the general laws remain unaffected. However, liability in this respect is only possible from the point in time at which a concrete infringement of the law becomes known. If I become aware of any such infringements, I will remove the relevant content immediately.

Liability for links

This website contains links to external websites of third parties, on whose contents I have no influence. Therefore, I cannot assume any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking. However, a permanent control of the contents of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. If I become aware of any infringements, I will remove such links immediately.

Privacy Policy

The following information provides an overview of what personal data is collected when you visit this website and how it will be used. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally.

When you use this website, no non-essential personal data is collected. Considering the data being collected, I take its protection very seriously. I treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy. However, please note that data transmission on the Internet (for example, when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

1. Data collection on this website

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to me. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. It is not merged with other data sources.

SSL encryption

For security reasons, this site uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

Cookies

This website does not use any cookies beyond so-called session cookies that are needed to run the content management system of this website. These cookies are technically essential and do not contain any personal data.

Analysis tools

When visiting my website, your surfing behavior may be statistically analyzed. This is done with a so-called analysis plugin. The analysis of your surfing behavior is fully anonymous; it cannot be traced back to you.

2. Your rights

Information, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact me at any time at the address given below (see „responsible party“).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to me is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that I process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract 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 responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of data protection law, the person concerned has a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection law is the state data protection commissioner of the federal state in which I am based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Responsible party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is the website operator:

Birgit Zinth

E-Mail: bzinthb@gmail.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.). The amount of people who are permanently involved in the processing of personal data is less than the number of nine which is defined in the law. I am not engaged in the commercial processing of personal data.

Using my contact data for sending unsolicited advertisements and information materials is hereby prohibited. The operator of the site expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam e-mails.

3. Changes of the Privacy Policy

I reserve the right to change the privacy policy in order to adapt it to changed legal situations, or in case of changes of the service as well as the data processing.
