Section 3. Saving of data
a) When visiting our website
Every time you access our website, your browser automatically sends information to our website server and saves it temporarily in what is known as a “log file”. This access data includes:
– The date and time you accessed the website
– The IP address of the computer that made the request
– The name and URL of the file that was loaded
– The external website from which you accessed our website
– The type of web browser used to access the website

None of this information can be linked back to you personally. Schott Acting Studio uses this data exclusively for statistical analyses for the purposes of running and optimising the website and ensuring that it is secure. Nevertheless, we reserve the right to check your access data at a later point if we have specific and justified reason to suspect illegal use.
b) During registration
The data you enter when registering for our website is used for the purposes of enabling you to use the website.

The data we will collect can be seen from the input screen that appears during registration, and includes your title, first name, surname, e-mail address, company name, address and telephone number.
c) When you contact us
We will not need to collect, save, use or process your personal data in addition to your access data until such time as you contact us. The term “personal data” refers to data that contains personal or material information pertaining to a specific or specifiable user. This includes information such as the user’s name, telephone number, address and e-mail address. When you contact us (e.g. via e-mail or our contact form), your information will be saved so that we can process your enquiry and contact you in case of any follow-up questions.

If you have given your express consent for us to do so, we will use your e-mail address to send you our regular newsletter. You can provide your consent by entering your e-mail address in the corresponding check box. We do not need any information other than your e-mail address in order to send you the newsletter. The corresponding newsletter will be sent to the e-mail address you specified during your registration. At the end of the newsletter is a link that you can use to cancel your subscription at any time. You can also cancel your subscription to the newsletter at any time by sending an e-mail to kontakt@schott-acting-studio.de.
Section 4. Forwarding of data to third parties
We will only forward your data to third parties if you have provided your express consent for us to do so, if we are under legal obligation to do so, or if this is necessary in order for us to exercise our rights, particularly in order for us to exercise any claims arising from this contractual relationship.
Section 5. Cookies
We use cookies when you visit our website. A cookie is a small file that contains a specific sequence of characters and can be used to clearly identify your browser. Cookies help us to improve the convenience and quality of our services in a number of ways, such as by saving user settings for use in said user’s next session. Cookies allow us to analyse your user behaviour in anonymised form whenever you visit our website. The use of cookies does not enable us to receive personal data pertaining to you. It is not possible for us to trace the information saved in the cookies back to a specific person or draw any conclusions with regard to individual visitors.
For the setting of cookies (with the exception of technically necessary ones), we obtain your explicit consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Most Internet browsers accept cookies automatically. You can also use our website without cookies. In your browser, you can deactivate the option for saving cookies, place restrictions on which websites you allow to use cookies, or set up notifications that will appear before every time a cookie is saved. You can use the data protection function in your browser to delete the cookies from your hard disk at any time. Taking such action may limit the functionality and user-friendliness of our website, though this will not necessarily be the case.
Section 6. Social Bookmarks
On our website, we use “social plug-ins” from the following social networks:
– Facebook, run by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA
– YouTube, run by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (for embedded videos)
These plug-ins are indicated by the corresponding icons. In the interests of protecting your data as effectively as possible, these buttons are deactivated in order to ensure that no data is sent to the owners of these social networks as soon as you load the page. These plug-ins can be activated if you so wish. No data can be transmitted to the social networks in question until you activate the corresponding social plug-ins. If you do not activate the social plug-ins, they will not contact the servers of Facebook or any other social network operators.
If a social plug-in is activated, certain data will be sent to the social network in question, e.g. the user’s IP address, information on the user’s browser and operating system, the website the user is visiting and the date and time of the visit. During the course of this communication, data from a website run by the social media provider in question will also be loaded onto our website. The social plug-in provider will receive information on what websites the user visits. In some cases, this may occur regardless of whether or not the user is logged in to the social network run by the social plug-in provider in question (e.g. Facebook). The provider may also process this data outside of the EU, and may also be able to generate individual usage profiles. We have no control over how, to what extent or for what purpose your data is processed by the providers of the social media services in question.
Below is some information on the social plug-ins used on our website:
a) Facebook
The Facebook plug-in is indicated by the Facebook logo. If you activate the Facebook plug-in, your browser will establish a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. Facebook will transmit the content of the plug-in directly to your browser, which will incorporate it into the website. As such, we have no control over what data Facebook collects using this plug-in, and the information that follows is provided to the best of our knowledge: Embedding the plug-in allows Facebook to receive the information that you have opened the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can link your visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plug-ins, e.g. by clicking the “Like” button or adding a comment, your browser will transmit the corresponding information directly to Facebook, where it will be saved. Even if you are not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to learn and save your IP address. For information regarding the purpose and scope of the data collection, how Facebook processes and uses data it has collected, your rights regarding this issue, and how you can alter your privacy settings on Facebook, please consult the Facebook privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
b) YouTube
Videos from the YouTube platform are embedded on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When you visit a page with an embedded YouTube video, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behaviour with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting our site. For more information on how user data is handled, please see YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Section 7. Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on this website (e.g. in a contact form) has been entered by a human being or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the website visitor stays on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place. The data is stored and analysed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and from SPAM. Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information about Google reCAPTCHA, please see Google’s privacy policy and terms of use at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/terms
The company has a certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. You can obtain further information from the provider under the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Section 8. Security
We take suitable technical and organisational measures in order to protect your data from both accidental and intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction, and unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continually updated in keeping with the latest technological developments.
Section 9. Your rights (Access, Rectification, Erasure, Restriction, Objection)
You have the right at any time:
– to obtain free information about your personal data stored by us (Art. 15 GDPR),
– to request the rectification of incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR),
– to request the erasure of your data if it is no longer needed (Art. 17 GDPR),
– to request the restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
– to object to the processing of your data (Art. 21 GDPR), and
– to revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR).
In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us (Art. 77 GDPR).
