Privacy Notice

In the following, I would like to inform you about the collection of personal data when visiting the website farmlandconsulting.eu.

"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject") (Art. 4 Nr. 1 GDPR).

Principally this website serves to present my business services and to offer you the opportunity to contact me. However, it is not possible to deliver the website to your computer or make contact with you without processing your personal data. It is therefore unavoidable to process your personal data as it is defined above. How and to what extent your data is processed, I would like to explain below:

Name and address of the person responsible

I am the responsible person or “controller” within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation and other national data protection laws of the EU member states as well as other data protection regulations.

A. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle, I collect and use personal data only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and for my content and services.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of mine or of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply or a storage period prescribed by the legal standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract or if the storage is prescribed by law.

4. Recipients of the data / data transfer to third parties

In principle, I am the sole recipient of all personal data. Data is only transferred to third parties if this is necessary and legally permitted. Insofar as I use service providers (web hoster, technical support), these are order processors based within the EU / EEA with whom I have concluded corresponding contracts for data processing, so that compliance with the data protection level of the GDPR is guaranteed. Any further data transfer, in particular to third countries, will only take place if I inform you of this below and compliance with the level of data protection is guaranteed.

B. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time the website is accessed, the system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:

·      Accessed page on the website or file

·      Browser type and browser version

·      Operating system

·      Transfer protocol (for example SSL)

·      Type of device

·      Referrer (previously visited website)

·      Website access time

·      IP address

The data is also stored in log files of my web hoster. This data is not stored in combination with other personal data of the user. Only the anonymised IP address in the log files is accessible to me.

2. Legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data in log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, my legitimate interest.

3. Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to ensure the security of my information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place.

These purposes also constitute my legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which outweighs the rights and freedoms of the user, as the user is free to visit my website and the IP address is only stored anonymously.

4. Duration of storage

The data is deleted once it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective user session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after fourteen days at the latest. Insofar as my web host stores the IP address beyond the period of 14 days, this is only done in anonymised form for the purpose of statistical surveys.

5. Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no option to object on the part of the user.

C. Contact form / e-mail contact / other forms of contact

1. Description and scope of data processing

Within the scope of my internet presence, in addition to providing my e-mail address, address, and telephone number, I also use a contact form which can be used for electronic contact (e.g. for general contact enquiries, etc.). If you use this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to me and stored. The fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory fields that are required to process your request (name, e-mail address and message). You can enter further information voluntarily.

The following data is also stored at the time the message is sent:

- IP address

- Time and date of sending

Alternatively, it is possible to contact me via the e-mail address, postal address or telephone. In this case, the user's transmitted personal data will be stored for the purpose of contacting you and answering your enquiry.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, my legitimate interest in processing your enquiry. Since your contact is voluntary and I only collect necessary data, my legitimate interest in data processing prevails. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract or concerns an existing contractual relationship, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Ultimately, due to your active conduct (clicking the send button, calling, sending an email) to establish contact, consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR is also to be assumed.

3. Purpose of data processing

The processing of personal data in connection with a contact serves me solely to process the request.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent a misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

4. Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those transmitted by e-mail, post or telephone, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of fourteen days at the latest.

D. Your rights as data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have in summary the following rights:

- Right to information about the data stored about you, including any recipients and the planned storage period, Art. 15 GDPR.

- Right to rectification, should incorrect data be processed concerning you, Art. 16 GDPR.

Insofar as the legal requirements for this are met, you have the following further rights:

- Right to erasure, Art. 17 GDPR

- Right to restriction of processing, Art. 18 GDPR

- Right to notification, Art. 19 GDPR

- Right to data portability, Art. 20 GDPR

- Right to object, Art. 21 GDPR

- Right to withdraw consent given, Art. 7 para. 3 p. 1 GDPR

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority of your choice pursuant to Art. 77 para. 1 GDPR.



Right to object, Art. 21 GDPR

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO HIS OR HER PARTICULAR SITUATION, AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU WHICH IS BASED ON POINT (E) OR (F) OF ARTICLE 6 PARAGRAPH 1, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS.

THE CONTROLLER SHALL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA UNLESS THE CONTROLLER DEMONSTRATES COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

WHERE PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING, WHICH INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

IF YOU OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOUR PERSONAL DATA SHALL NO LONGER BE USED FOR THESE PURPOSES.

IN THE CONTEXT OF THE USE OF INFORMATION SOCIETY SERVICES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING DIRECTIVE 2002/58/EC, YOU MAY EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT BY AUTOMATED MEANS USING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.

E. No obligation to disclose data

When visiting my website, there is no legal or contractual obligation to transmit personal data to me.



F. No profiling / no automated decision-making processes

I do not carry out any form of profiling or any automated decision-making on the website.

G. IT-Security

To protect the security of your data during data transmission, I use the so-called TLS encryption method (128 bit key, TLS 1.3), which you can recognise by the small lock symbol in the address line of the URL of our website. In addition, I secure my IT systems with firewalls and virus protection.



H. Language versions

The Imprint and the Data Protection Notice are presented in both German and English languages on this website. The versions in both languages aim to be complete and accurate. In the case of any inconsistency between the versions, the German language version shall be deemed prevailing and binding.



I. Reservation of right of modification

I reserve the right to amend this data protection notice to comply with the latest legal requirements. The updated data protection notice will then apply to any subsequent visit to my website.
