Privacy Policy

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on data protection can be found in the privacy policy set out below.

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Their contact details can be found in the section "Information on the controller" in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected in part because you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically, or with your consent, by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (for example your internet browser, operating system, or the time the page was accessed). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. Where contracts can be concluded or initiated via the website, the data transmitted is also processed for contract offers, orders, or other enquiries.

What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time to obtain information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge. You also have the right to request that this data be corrected or deleted. If you have given consent to data processing, you may withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You further have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions about data protection.

We host the content of our website with the following provider:

This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the servers of the host. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses, and other data generated via a website.

External hosting takes place for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of the secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as that consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (for example device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Our host will process your data only to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and will follow our instructions in relation to that data.

We use the following host:

Framer B.V.
Rozengracht 207B
1016 LZ Amsterdam
The Netherlands

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the service named above. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

The operator of these pages takes 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 by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (for example when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

AK Works – Ales Kernjak
Baldestraße 7
80469 München
Germany

Telephone: +49 1523 583 1810
Email: ales@akworks.studio

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (for example names, email addresses, and similar).

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing it no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion, or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (for example retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once those grounds no longer apply.

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 where special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (for example via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We further process your data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legal bases applicable in each individual case are set out in the following sections of this privacy policy.

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We disclose personal data to external parties only where this is necessary in the course of fulfilling a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (for example the disclosure of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure. Where processors are used, we disclose our customers' personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint controller agreement is concluded.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

In the event of infringements 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance 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 controller, this will only take place insofar as it is technically feasible.

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions about personal data.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent, or for the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

For security reasons, and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from "http://" to "https://", and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The site operator expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam email.

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website; to achieve this, the server log files must be recorded.

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (for example after your enquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (for example after your request has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

For the uniform display of typefaces, this site uses what are known as Bunny Fonts, provided by BunnyWay d.o.o., Cesta komandanta Staneta 4A, 1215 Medvode, Slovenia. When you access a page, your browser loads the required fonts into its cache in order to display text and typefaces correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to the servers of Bunny Fonts. Delivery takes place exclusively within the European Union. According to the provider, no IP addresses are logged, no cookies are set, and no personal data is passed on to third parties. No transfer to third countries takes place.

The use of Bunny Fonts is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of typography on its website.

If your browser does not support Bunny Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy: https://bunny.net/privacy.

This website uses Framer Analytics, an analytics service provided by Framer B.V., Rozengracht 207B, 1016 LZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The service records aggregated access statistics, such as page views and visitor numbers.

According to the provider, Framer Analytics sets no cookies and uses no persistent identifiers to recognise individual users. There is no cross-device tracking and no creation of user profiles. Consent under § 25(1) TDDDG is therefore not required.

Use is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of the use of its website in order to optimise its offering. Processing takes place under the data processing agreement concluded with Framer.
