Privacy Policy
OVERVIEW OF DATA PROTECTION
General information
The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data refers to all data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.
Data collection on this website
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. The operator's contact details can be found in the "Information on the responsible entity" section of this privacy policy.
How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected in two ways. First, some data is provided by you, for example, data you enter in a contact form. Other data is automatically collected or with your consent when you visit the website through our IT systems. This includes primarily technical data (e.g., the browser you are using, operating system, or time of the site visit). This data is collected automatically as soon as you access the website.
What do we use your data for?
Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right to request free information at any time about the origin, recipients, and purposes of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent for data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Additionally, you have the right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time regarding these and other questions on the topic of data protection.
Analytics and third-party tools
When you visit this website, your browsing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This mainly happens with analysis programs. Detailed information about these analysis programs can be found in the following privacy policy.
HOSTING
united-domains
We host our website with united-domains. The provider is united-domains AG, Gautinger Strasse 10, 83219 Starnberg (hereinafter referred to as "united-domains"). When you visit our website, united-domains collects various log files, including your IP address. For more information, please refer to united-domains' privacy policy: https://www.united-domains.de/unternehmen/datenschutz/.
The use of united-domains is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in a reliable presentation of our website. If consent has been requested, processing is exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
We have concluded a DPA with the provider mentioned above. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that this provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND MANDATORY DETAILS
Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data refers to data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and for what purpose we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.
Information about the responsible entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
Narrative Way GmbH
Kirchweg 9
53859 Niederkassel
Email: mail@narrativeway.de
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Retention period
Unless a more specific retention period has been mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other countries not considered safe under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that these countries may not guarantee a data protection level comparable to that in the EU. For example, US companies are required to provide personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE 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. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to file complaints with supervisory authorities
In case of violations of the GDPR, those affected have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged violation. This right to file a complaint exists irrespective of other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser's address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and the padlock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion, and correction
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose and for further questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of its deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be made. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data—aside from their storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
4. DATA COLLECTION ON THIS WEBSITE
Inquiries via email, phone, or fax
If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed for the purpose of addressing your request. We will not share this data without your consent. The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided it has been requested. The data sent to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete them, revoke your consent for their storage, or the purpose for their data storage ceases (e.g., after your request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions—especially legal retention periods—remain unaffected.
5. ANALYTICS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. You can find details here: https://automattic.com/de/privacy/.
6. PLUGINS AND TOOLS
YouTube with enhanced data protection
This website includes videos from YouTube. The site operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors on this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced data protection mode. Regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) once you start a video. YouTube can use this information to collect data about visitors to this website. This data is used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud attempts. Additional data processing activities may be triggered after you start a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is based solely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and the consent can be revoked at any time. For more information on data protection at YouTube, please refer to their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Additionally, Vimeo obtains your IP address. This applies even if you are not logged into Vimeo or do not have an account with Vimeo. The information collected by Vimeo is transferred to the Vimeo server in the USA.
If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you allow Vimeo to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.
Vimeo uses cookies or similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) to recognize visitors to its website.
The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is based solely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and the consent can be revoked at any time.
