1. General

1.1 Purposes of the processing of personal data

Windlight Pictures GmbH (hereinafter “Windlight Pictures” or “we”) processes your personal data only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. When you visit our website, the following data are processed:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the demand
  • Time zone difference to GMT
  • Website content
  • Access status (HTTP status)
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Website from which you came to our website
  • Web browser (type, language and version)
  • Operating system.

The processing and temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must be saved for the duration of the session. The log files contain IP addresses or other data that enable the user to be assigned. The storage in log files takes place in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize our website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.Any processing of personal data takes place exclusively for the stated purposes and to the extent necessary to achieve these purposes. This data is not used for advertising, customer advice or market research purposes.

1.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and legal regulations permit us to process the data. The storage of the data and the log files takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

1.3 Data erasure and duration of storage

Your personal data will be erased or blocked by us as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. If the personal data is stored in log files, the personal data will be erased after seven days at the latest. Beyond this, longer-term storage shall only be permitted provided your IP address shall be erased or defamiliarized, so that it is no longer possible to identify you as an accessing user.

2. Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to present our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as. B. Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google web fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, the content is displayed in a standard font.

Going to script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible – but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of such libraries collect data.

You can find the privacy policy of the library operator Google here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
