Hosting and provision of the website
Our hosting service provider is blue creative GmbH, Bretonischer Ring 6, 85630 Grasbrunn. The technical hosting infrastructure is provided by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, proprietor René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf. These service providers process technical data insofar as this is necessary for hosting, email operations and technical support.
When you visit the website, your IP address and the connection data needed to deliver the requested content are processed in particular. Technical access logs may also contain the time, requested address, transmission status, browser and operating system details, and referring page. This serves to provide, troubleshoot and secure the website. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is secure and reliable operation.
Contact and event enquiries
If you contact us using a form, by email or by phone, we process your contact details and the content of your message to handle your enquiry and communicate with you. The project enquiry requires your name, email address and phone number; selecting services is optional. The general contact form requires your name, email address and message; other details are optional. Without the required details, an enquiry cannot be processed through the form. There is no legal obligation to contact us.
The form transmits your details over an HTTPS connection to klangniveau.de/klangniveau-anfrage.php. They are then forwarded by email to albrecht@klangniveau.de and processed in our email inbox. Both forms include a reference to this privacy notice; no additional confirmation is requested.
For enquiries concerning a potential or existing contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We process other enquiries under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is responding to incoming requests. Technical measures to prevent abusive form submissions also serve our legitimate interest in secure operation.
The form endpoint does not store names, email addresses or messages in a database. To prevent abuse, it keeps submission counters, timestamps and a daily changing hash of the IP address in a temporary server file. The hash is a pseudonymous technical identifier. The stored daily state is replaced on the next valid request on a new UTC day. This does not guarantee automatic deletion after 24 hours. Technical hosting and mail logs and the inbox are separate from this.
Storage and deletion
Whether enquiry data is retained depends on whether it is still needed to handle the enquiry, subsequently fulfil a contract, or establish or defend claims. Statutory retention obligations may require further storage. When these purposes and obligations no longer apply, the data concerned must be deleted. For technical logs and abuse prevention data, retention depends on how long they are needed to maintain security and investigate specific disruptions.
Language preference
Your manually selected language is stored locally in your browser under “kn-language”. This choice is used when you visit the main website address; if no choice is stored, we use your browser language. You can change your choice using DE/EN or reset it by clearing the website data.
Cookies and your privacy choice
Fonts, images and logos are served locally. We store your cookie choice, version (currently 2) and timestamp under “kn-consent-v1” in browser storage for 180 days; acceptance and refusal have the same lifetime. Material changes require a new choice. Statistics stay off without a readable valid choice. If storage is blocked, consent applies only to this page; a necessary blocking cookie “kn-consent-denied” (180 days, current host, path /) helps prevent an older grant from returning. This storage honours your requested cookie choice (section 25(2)(2) TDDDG). You can withdraw via “Cookie settings”. Wedding Analytics are immediately terminated, including in open tabs, while preserving form input. On the main website this reloads the page. Accessible analytics cookies are deleted. Withdrawal does not automatically delete data already sent to Google.
WhatsApp contact
The wedding page offers an external WhatsApp link. Loading our page does not connect to WhatsApp. Clicking the link opens WhatsApp, where the service processes technical connection data among other information. The provider in the European Economic Area is WhatsApp Ireland Limited. After validation, actively clicking passes the completed wedding form entries to WhatsApp as a prepared message in the link (names, email, phone and optional date, guest count, venue, services and wishes). You can review and edit the message there and must send it yourself. WhatsApp receives the prepared text when opened, even if you do not send the message. We use your message to handle your enquiry. You can also use email, phone or the form. Only with valid statistics consent do we count the click as “whatsapp_click”, without the phone number, message URL, message text or form entries. Further information: WhatsApp Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics – only with consent
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 (main website: G-G978GD2ZM0; wedding page: exclusively G-J1L2RNE45H), provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to analyse website usage. Without consent no Analytics script or measurement request is loaded (Basic Consent Mode). The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, for storing and reading analytics cookies, section 25(1) TDDDG. You can use the website and forms without Analytics.
After consent, Google processes technical device and browser information, page views, timestamps and cookie identifiers, among other data. A connection to Google is established for transmission, during which your IP address is also technically processed. The website does not send names, email addresses, telephone numbers or messages from the forms to Analytics. An enquiry successfully handed to our mail server is counted only as a generic “generate_lead” event. Our Analytics integration does not send URL parameters, URL fragments or the referring address. Google signals and advertising personalisation are disabled in the integration.
Analytics uses “_ga” to recognise a browser and “_ga_J1L2RNE45H” for wedding page session state; the main website uses “_ga_G978GD2ZM0”. Cookies are configured for the current host, path /, with a maximum lifetime of 180 days and no automatic renewal. Cookie lifetime differs from retention at Google. The operator must verify and confirm wedding property retention and data processing settings before release; website code cannot establish these account settings.
For data processing Google provides its Google Data Processing Terms, which we have accepted The operator must confirm acceptance for the property before release. Recipients may also include Google LLC and other Google companies providing the service in the USA. According to Google’s information on international data transfers Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Google bases the relevant transfers on this adequacy mechanism and, where required, on standard contractual clauses. Further information on processing is provided in Google’s privacy policy.
External videos and links
YouTube videos can be played on request in an expandable video area on this website. The player is loaded only after you click “Play YouTube video”. After confirmation, a connection to YouTube is established via youtube-nocookie.com; your IP address, browser data and information about video use may be transmitted to Google and processed outside the European Union. Collapsing the video removes the player and stops playback. Consent is not stored and applies only to the video currently opened. More information is available in Google’s privacy policy. Instagram and the websites in our references remain external links; you access the respective provider only when you open them.
Your rights
Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.
Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation. To exercise your rights, contact us at the address above.
You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. For private companies in Bavaria, the relevant authority is in particular the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision, Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach.
This website does not use automated decision-making, including profiling.
BR videos in ARD Mediathek
The BR reports in our highlights are loaded via the ARD Mediathek player only after you click “Watch BR video”. Your IP address and browser data, among other information, are transmitted to the ARD services responsible for delivery. Collapsing the video removes the player. Consent is not stored. Information on processing by the provider is available in the ARD Mediathek privacy notice.
