Document:
The purpose of this information is to explain to you how your data is handled when you visit our websites www.galerieraphael.com and http://www.galerieraphael12.com. We take the protection of your data very seriously and keep your data confidential under the terms of the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy notice.
Owner: Raphael Petrov e. K.
One way that your data is collected is when you pass it on to us. In this context we can, for example, be talking about personal data (such as your name, address and e-mail address). Other data is gathered automatically by IT systems when you visit our websites. This is mainly technical data (such as the Internet browser you are using, your operating system and the time when you accessed the website). This data is recorded automatically as soon as you access our websites.
When you access the websites www.galerieraphael.com and www.galerieraphael12.com the provider of these websites (PageCon GmbH, Bad Dürkheim) automatically communicates information to us in something known as a server log, which your browser in turn passes on to us automatically.
The data stored will be permanently deleted by our provider after 14 days. If for any reason the data happens to be stored for more than 14 days any personal information such as the IP address will be made unrecognizable or deleted. This means that the relevant data cannot be traced back to you. Such scenarios may occur if security issues or unexpected technical problems arise.
The abovementioned data is collected in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f of GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the safe and correct operation of our IT infrastructure, in combating misuse, prosecuting criminal offenses and in safeguarding, asserting and implementing claims.
If you would like to subscribe to the free newsletter on offer on our websites we need you to provide us with an e-mail address (mandatory field marked with an *). You can also input your given name and/or surname if you so desire, thus allowing us to personalize your newsletter. In other words, we can then greet you with the name you have input. In order to make sure that you are happy for us to send you the newsletter, you will initially receive a confirmation e-mail, sent to the e-mail address you have supplied. No further data will be collected. We use the abovementioned data solely in order to send you the requested information and will not pass on your details to third parties. The only exception to this is our partner rapidmail GmbH, which sends the e-mail to you. The information on data protection issued by this service provider is available at https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit.
The data you provide on the registration form for the newsletter is processed solely on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a of GDPR. This consent to have the newsletter sent to you can be revoked by you at any time, either by sending an e-mail to our abovenamed address or by clicking directly onto the unsubscribe link on any issue of our newsletter. This revocation shall not affect the legitimacy of any data that has already been processed.
Your data, which we have on file in order for us to be able to send you the newsletter, will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from it and will be deleted after you cancel your order. Any data stored by us for other purposes (e.g., your address for sending out invitations via mail) shall not be affected by this unless you request the data be deleted.
Our websites sometimes use something known as cookies. Cookies will not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. The purpose of cookies is to make what we offer you more user-friendly, more effective and safer. They are small text files which are placed on your computer and stored by your browser. By their nature, cookies cannot identify you as a person.
You can set your browser so that it informs you about any cookies that have been placed on your computer, so that it only allows the process in individual cases and so that it blocks cookies in certain situations or generally. You can also set it to automatically delete cookies when you close the browser. The functionality of our websites can be restricted if you deactivate cookies.
Cookies required for certain electronic communication procedures or for providing certain functions that you require (e.g., newsletter registration) are stored under the terms of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f of GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies so that the services offered are free of technical errors and provided in the best-possible way.
These websites use functions provided by Web analytics service provider Matomo. Matomo is an open-source application for statistically evaluating the number of visitors to a website. The application is supplied by InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, Wellington 6011, New Zealand.
Matomo cookies are stored in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f of GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing patterns of use in order to optimize its Web services.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of GDPR, in accordance with our legitimate interest in guaranteeing and optimizing the functionality of our websites.
Google can, via the connection thus established with Google, determine which website was used, from which IP address the query was sent and where the directions should be sent.

Our websites have plugins for the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA integrated into them for legitimate advertising purposes. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f of GDPR. You will recognize these plugins by their Facebook logos or the “Like” button on our websites. You will find a summary of the Facebook plugins at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.
When you access a page on our websites with this kind of plugin your browser establishes a direct connection with Facebook’s servers.

Through the integration of these plugins Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the relevant page of our websites, even if you do not have an account with Facebook or are not currently logged in to Facebook.
This information (including your IP address) will be sent directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the United States and stored there.
If you are logged in to Facebook the latter company can correlate your visit to our websites with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for instance, by clicking the “Like” button, the relevant information is also sent directly to a Facebook server, where it is stored. The information is also published on Facebook and shared with your Facebook friends (depending on your personal privacy settings).
Facebook can use this information for advertising, market research and for customizing the design of Facebook pages. To this end, Facebook can produce profiles relating to your usage, interests and relationships, for example in order to evaluate your use of our websites in terms of the advertisements placed by Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our websites, and to perform other services associated with the use of Facebook.

Data shall not be passed on to third parties for anything other than the abovementioned purposes.

You will recognize that a connection is encrypted when the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address line. When SSL encryption is activated, as a matter of principle the data that you send us cannot be read by third parties. However, we should point out that data transmission via the Internet may have security flaws. The complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
