Unfortunately, it is in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but we have tried to describe the most important things as simply and clearly as possible when creating them.

Automatic data storage
Nowadays, when you visit websites, certain information is automatically created and stored, such as on this website.
When you visit our website as you are doing right now, our web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically stores data such as
- the address (URL) of the accessed web page
- Browser and browser version
- the operating system used
- the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
- the hostname and IP address of the device from which the access is made
- Date and time
in files (web server log files).
As a rule, web server log files are stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data, but cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be reviewed in the event of unlawful behavior.
The legal basis, according to Article 6(1) f DSGVO (lawfulness of processing), is that there is legitimate interest in enabling the error-free operation of this website by collecting web server log files.
Hosting
This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM (Neue Medien Münnich), owner René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany. The provider processes the server log files mentioned above and all data you submit via this website on its servers. Fonts and icons are also stored on this server. Visiting the website does not create a connection to Google Fonts or other font and icon services.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of this website. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with ALL-INKL.COM.
Cookies
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
Below we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following privacy policy.
What exactly are cookies?
Whenever you browse the Internet, you use a browser. Popular browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.
One thing cannot be denied: Cookies are really useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, as there are other cookies for other applications. HTTP cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, effectively the "brain" of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.
Cookies store certain user data about you, such as language or personal page settings. When you return to our site, your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our site knows who you are and offers you your usual default setting. In some browsers, each cookie has its own file; in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.
There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our website, third-party cookies are created by embedded services of other providers. Each cookie must be assessed individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. Cookies also cannot access information on your PC.
What types of cookies are there?
The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the privacy policy. At this point, we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.
One can distinguish 4 types of cookies:
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure the basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user adds a product to the shopping cart, then continues surfing on other pages, and later goes to the checkout. Through these cookies, the shopping cart is not deleted even if the user closes his browser window.
Functional cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. In addition, these cookies are also used to measure the loading time and the behavior of the website with different browsers.
Performance cookies
These cookies provide a better user experience. For example, entered locations, font sizes or form data are stored.
Advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very annoying.
Usually, when you visit a website for the first time, you are asked which of these cookie types you want to allow. And, of course, this decision is also stored in a cookie.
How can I delete cookies?
You decide how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option to delete, only partially allow or disable cookies. For example, you can block third-party cookies, but allow all other cookies.
If you want to determine which cookies have been stored in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:
If you do not want to have cookies in principle, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. In this way, you can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow the cookie or not. The procedure varies depending on the browser. The best way is to search for the instructions in Google with the search term "delete cookies Chrome" or "disable cookies Chrome" in case of a Chrome browser or replace the word "Chrome" with the name of your browser, e.g. Edge, Firefox, Safari.
What about my data privacy?
We need your consent to store information on your device and to read this information. This is governed by Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Cookies that are strictly necessary for operating the website are exempt (Section 25(2) TDDDG).
If you want to know more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, we recommend https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments called "HTTP State Management Mechanism".
Cookie consent with CookieYes
We use the WordPress plugin CookieYes to obtain your consent. It runs on this website's server without any connection to external CookieYes servers. On your first visit, a banner asks which services you want to allow.
CookieYes stores your choice in the cookie "cookieyes-consent" for one year. It contains a random ID and your decision for each category. As proof of your consent, CookieYes may log this ID, the time and your choice in this website's database. CookieYes does not collect names or email addresses.
Until you have given consent, this website does not load any services that require consent. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the round icon at the bottom left of every page. Withdrawal applies to the future.
The legal basis for storing your choice is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7(1) GDPR (proof of consent) and Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG.
Storage of personal data
Personal data that you submit to us electronically on this website, such as your name, email address, postal address or other personal details when submitting a form, is used by us together with the time and IP address only for the stated purpose, kept secure and not passed on to third parties.
We thus use your personal data only for communication with visitors who expressly request contact and for processing the services and products offered on this website. We do not disclose your personal data without consent, but we cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of unlawful conduct.
If you send us personal data by e-mail - thus outside of this website - we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data by e-mail without encryption.
According to Article 6 (1) a DSGVO (lawfulness of processing), the legal basis is that you give us consent to process the data you have entered. You can revoke this consent at any time - an informal e-mail is sufficient, you will find our contact details in the imprint.
Kontaktformular
If you write to us via the contact form, we process your name, your email address, your message and, if provided, your phone number. The details are stored in this website's database and forwarded to us by email via the ALL-INKL.COM mail server. How we receive emails is described in the following section. To protect against spam, the form uses a hidden field (honeypot). No data is transferred to third parties for this.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to a contract. In all other cases, it is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to answer your enquiry. We delete the data once your enquiry has been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations apply.
Email communication with Zoho Mail
We receive and store emails to addresses at learningconsultant.de, including messages from the contact form, with Zoho Mail. The provider is Zoho Corporation, 4141 Hacienda Drive, Pleasanton, CA 94588, USA. Zoho processes the sender, recipient, subject, content and attachments of your email as well as technical connection data.
The data is stored in data centres in the USA. For the transfer, Zoho uses the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses under Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Zoho.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your message relates to a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to answer your message. We delete emails once they have been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations apply.
Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
According to the provisions of the GDPR, you are generally entitled to the following rights:
– Right of access (Article 15 GDPR)
- Right of rectification (Article 16 GDPR)
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") (Article 17 GDPR)
- Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 DSGVO)
- Right to notification - obligation to notify in connection with the rectification or erasure of personal data or the restriction of processing (Article 19 GDPR)

– Right to withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Article 7(3) GDPR)
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law, you can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). In particular, the authority in the EU member state where you live, work or where the alleged infringement took place is responsible.
Right to object
Where we process data on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you can object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR). We will then stop processing the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds. An informal email to kai(at)learningconsultant.de is sufficient.
Evaluation of visitor behavior
In the following privacy policy, we inform you whether and how we analyse data from your visit to this website. Analysis only takes place if you consent in the cookie banner. We do not use the data to identify you personally.
How to withdraw your consent is described in the section on Open Web Analytics.
TLS encryption with https
We use https to transmit data tap-proof on the Internet (data protection by design of technology Article 25(1) DSGVO). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this protection of data transmission by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser and the use of the scheme https (instead of http) as part of our Internet address.
Visitor statistics with Open Web Analytics (OWA)
This website uses Open Web Analytics (OWA), an open source web analytics software licensed under the GPL. OWA was created by Peter Adams.
For this purpose, OWA sets the cookies "owa_v" (visitor ID) and "owa_s" (session ID) on your device. They make it possible to analyse how the website is used. The information collected, including your IP address, is generally stored on our server in Germany. Only we have access to this information. No data is passed on to third parties.
We use the collected information to evaluate the use of our websites and to create corresponding reports.
Processing only takes place with your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. OWA only loads once you consent to the "Statistik" (statistics) category in the cookie banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time via the icon at the bottom left.
Appointment booking with Cal.com
We use Cal.com for online appointment booking. The provider is Cal.com, Inc., 2261 Market Street #4382, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA.
Your browser loads the "Termin vereinbaren" (book an appointment) button and the booking window from Cal.com servers. In doing so, it transmits your IP address, information about your browser and device, and the page you visited to Cal.com. Cal.com sets its own cookies and identifiers of the analytics services PostHog and RudderStack. If you book an appointment, Cal.com also processes your name, your email address, the selected time slot and your notes.
Cal.com only loads once you consent to the "Funktional" (functional) category in the cookie banner. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.
