Privacy policy

This English version is provided for convenience. Only the Datenschutzerklärung in German is legally binding.

Discretion also applies to your data. This website collects as little as possible: no cookies, no trackers, no advertising.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Herrmann & Litau GbR
represented by the partners Till Herrmann and Vladislav Litau
Reinersdorfer Straße 24a, 91085 Weisendorf, Germany
Email: info@blackframes.de
Phone: +49 911 60992977

We are not legally required to appoint a data protection officer. If you have any questions about data protection, please contact us directly at the address above.

2. Summary

  • We do not set cookies and do not use any tracking, analytics or advertising services that follow you across websites.
  • For anonymous visitor statistics, we count page views on our own server without cookies and without storing your IP address.
  • We do not embed social media plugins, videos or map services from third parties.
  • Fonts and all other files are loaded from our own server, not from third-party servers.
  • We only process personal data where this is necessary to operate the website or to handle your enquiry.

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, owner René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany. The servers are located in Germany. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the host pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

When you access the website, the server processes technically necessary data that your browser transmits automatically:

  • IP address
  • date and time of access
  • page or file accessed and amount of data transferred
  • referrer URL (the page visited previously)
  • browser type, operating system and status code

The server processes this data only to deliver the website to you. We have switched off logging with our host: no server log files are created or stored. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure and error-free operation of the website.

4. Visitor statistics without cookies

To understand which content is read, we count page views with our own statistics on our server. No cookies are set, nothing is stored on your device and no data is passed on to third parties.

Only daily totals are stored: the number of page views and visitors, the pages viewed, the website you came from (only its name, such as "Google") and the type of device (computer, tablet or phone).

So that we do not count visitors twice, the server creates a shortened checksum from your IP address, your browser identifier and a random value that is regenerated every day. Your IP address is not stored in the process. The checksum and the random value are deleted the following day, after which no conclusions about individuals are possible. If your browser sends "Do Not Track" or "Global Privacy Control", we do not count your visit.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in improving our website on the basis of anonymous usage figures.

5. Contact form, email and phone

If you contact us via the contact form, by email or by phone, we process the information you provide: company, name of the contact person, email address or phone number, requested service and timeframe, your message and the confidentiality level you selected.

The form data is transmitted in encrypted form and is not stored on the web server but forwarded by email to our mailbox. Our mailbox is also hosted by ALL-INKL.COM on servers in Germany.

We use the data solely to answer your enquiry and, where applicable, to prepare a quote. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR insofar as your enquiry is aimed at concluding a contract, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling enquiries).

We delete your enquiry once it has been dealt with and no statutory retention obligations apply. If a contract is concluded, the retention periods under commercial and tax law apply.

Please do not send us any confidential product details via the form. We only exchange these through a secure channel after a non-disclosure agreement has been signed.

6. Applications

If you apply to us as a performer, photographer or videographer via the application form or by email, we process the information you provide: name, email address, phone number, place of residence or region, desired role, availability, a link to your portfolio and your message. As with the contact form, the data is transmitted in encrypted form, not stored on the web server and forwarded by email to our mailbox.

We use the data solely to review your application and to initiate a collaboration. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a freelance contract).

If no collaboration results, we delete your application no later than six months after the end of the process. If you agreed in the form that we may keep your application for future projects, we store it for up to twelve months. The legal basis is then your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future.

7. SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by "https://" in your browser's address bar.

8. Your rights

You have the following rights with regard to your personal data at any time:

  • access (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • objection (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where we process data on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Right to lodge a complaint: You can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany, www.lda.bayern.de.

9. Further information

Providing your data is neither required by law nor by contract. Without contact details, however, we cannot answer your enquiry. There is no automated decision-making or profiling. No transfer to countries outside the EU is planned.

We update this policy when the website or the legal situation changes. The version published here applies.
