3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Data Protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for, as well as how and for what purpose this happens.

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

Information on the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Echodeck UG (limited liability)
Straßburger Str. 28
10405 Berlin
Germany
contact [at] echodeck.co

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases. If you submit 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. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer apply.

Legal Bases for Data Processing

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 are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device, processing is additionally based on §25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
If your data is required for contract performance or pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, it is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The applicable legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these parties. We only disclose personal data if required for contract fulfillment, if legally required, if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits disclosure. When using processors, we disclose personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure

You have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data under the conditions set out in the GDPR, including where you contest the accuracy of the data or where processing is unlawful.

SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change from "http://" to "https://" and the lock icon in your browser.
