Welcome to Freaky-Deek Productions and our website and online shop at www.artdefineszeroone.com. This Privacy Policy describes our practices for collecting, using, protecting and disclosing the Personal Data we collect from you when you visit our website and use our services.

General Information

What law applies?

In principle, we will only use your Personal Data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular Germany’s Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (“DPA”) and the EU`s counterpart the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

 

What is Personal Data?

Personal Data is any information relating to personal or material circumstances that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. This includes, for example, your name, date of birth, e-mail address, postal address, or telephone number as well as online identifiers such as your IP address.

What is processing?

“Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon Personal Data, whether or not by automatic means. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data.

Who is responsible for data processing?

The responsible party within the meaning of the DPA and the GDPR is Freaky-Deek Productions, Dominik Fuhrich, ℅ Block Services, Stuttgarter Str. 106, 70736 Fellbach, Germany (“Freaky-Deek Productions“, “we”, “us”, or “our”). If you have any questions, please email legal@ad-01.com, use our Contact Form or write to us at the above address.

What are the legal bases of processing?

In accordance with the DPA and GDPR, we have to have at least one of the following legal bases to process your Personal Data:

  • Consent – This is where we have asked you to provide explicit permission to process your data for a particular purpose.
  • Contract – This is where we process your information to fulfill a contractual arrangement we have made with you or reply to your messages, e-mails, posts, calls, etc.
  • Legitimate Interests – This is where we rely on our interests as a reason for processing, generally this is to provide you with the best products and service in the most secure and appropriate way. Of course, before relying on any of those legitimate interests we balance them against your interests and make sure they are compelling enough and will not cause any unwarranted harm.
  • Legal Obligation – This is where we have a statutory or other legal obligation to process the information, such as for archiving or the investigation of crime.

Data we collect automatically

Log data

Even if you do not log in or register on our website, but simply browse our website, data is collected and stored and processed by us. Specifically, this requires the IP address of your computer, Date and time of access, Name and URL of the accessed file, Browser used, Number of bytes transferred, Status of the page retrieval, Session ID, Referrer URL.

Hosting

To provide our website, we use the services of STRATO AG, who process all data to be processed in connection with the operation of our website on our behalf. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest in providing our website.

Content Management System

We also use the Content Management System of WordPress by Automattic to publish and maintain the created and edited content and texts on our website. This means that all content and texts submitted to us is transferred to WordPress. This represents a legitimate interest.

Provision of the Shop

We also use the shop system of WooCommerce by Automattic. All data collected in our shop is processed on Automattic`s global servers. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest in providing our shop.

Content Delivery Network

We also use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to distribute our online content. Our CDN is a network of regionally distributed servers operated by our technical service providers that are interconnected via the Internet. When you visit our website, your device’s browser transmits information to these service providers, which is collected in corresponding server log files. The server log files are usually anonymized and then transmitted without personal reference. The server log files include in particular i) information on the browser and operating system used, ii) the previously visited pages (so-called referral URL), iii) the IP address of the device used, iv) the name of the Internet provider, and v) the date, time of all page views including the amount of data transferred. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager by Google LLC which allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. No cookies are set, and no Personal Data is collected. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that may collect data but does not itself access this data. The legal basis for using Google Tag Manager is our legitimate interest.

Google Fonts

We integrate the fonts of the provider Google LLC, whereby the user’s data is used solely for the purpose of displaying the fonts in the user’s browser. The integration is based on my legitimate interest in a technically secure, maintenance-free and efficient use of fonts, their uniform display and taking into account possible licensing restrictions for their integration. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest.

YouTube Videos

We have integrated components from YouTube. The integration requires that YouTube can perceive the IP address of the user. The IP address is required in order to send the video content to the user’s browser. If you click on a YouTube component (video) on our website, your internet browser will be prompted by the component to download a corresponding representation of the component. In this way, YouTube knows which specific sub-pages you have visited. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest and your consent.

Jetpack

We have integrated Jetpack by Automattic on our website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in that offers additional functions to the operator of a website built on WordPress. Among other things, Jetpack allows the website operator to keep track of visitors to the site. By displaying related posts and publications or the possibility to share content on the page, it is also possible to increase the number of visitors. In addition, security functions are integrated into Jetpack so that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute force attacks. Jetpack also optimizes and speeds up the loading of images integrated on the website.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics provided by Google LLC, on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to enable our website to analyze how users use our website across multiple devices. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google, including transmission to the United States. The following data is processed through the use of Google Analytics: a) 3 bytes of the IP address of the called system of the website visitor (anonymized IP address), b) the website called up, c) the website from which the user reached the accessed page of my website (referrer), d) the subpages accessed from the website, e) the time spent on the website, and f) the frequency with which the website is accessed. Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can disable tracking by Google Analytics with future effect by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for your current web browser following this link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Cookie Policy

Why do we have a Cookie Policy?

This Cookie Policy sits in line with German Data Protection and Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia Act (TTDSG) and the EU’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”). In accordance with them, we need to inform you about the cookies we use and obtain your consent when using certain types of cookies namely Functional, Performance, Analytical and Advertising Cookies.

 

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files with configuration information that are stored on your device. Cookies can be divided into the following two broad categories:

  • Technically necessary cookies (Essential)

Technically necessary cookies are required for our website to function properly; they enable you to navigate our website efficiently and use its functional features. An example of this is, the reminder of recently performed actions (e.g., entered text) when you return to a page within the same session.

  • Technically non-essential cookies (Performance, Functional, Analytical, Advertising )

Technically non-essential cookies are not necessary for the proper functioning of our website, but they enable us to improve the content of our website, compile statistics for internal market analysis purposes, provide you with a more personalized online experience or provide additional features. In particular we use analytical cookies.

Analytical cookies are used by third parties. These cookies allow third parties to recognize that you have visited our website. We and our third-party providers may also combine information obtained from these cookies with Personal Information available from other sources, including data collected about you when you use other websites and data collected about you when you are offline, whether on our website or data maintained by the third-party provider.

 

Within the described categories, different types of cookies are used and these can be subdivided into:

  • Session cookies

While you are active on a website, a session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer’s memory, which stores a session identifier, for example, to prevent you from having to log in again each time you change pages. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or lose their validity once their session has automatically expired.

  • Permanent or persistent cookies

A persistent or protocol cookie stores a file on your computer for the period of time specified in the expiration date. These cookies allow websites to remember your information and settings the next time you visit. This results in faster and more convenient access, as you do not have to set your language preferences for our portal again, for example. When the expiration date passes, the cookie is automatically deleted when you visit the website that generated it.

  • Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies come from providers other than the website operator. For example, they may be used to collect information for advertising, custom content, and web statistics.

Below are the non-essential cookies our website uses. Please keep in mind that the cookies used may change from time to time and that this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly.
