Last updated:1.12.205

 

BYUS operates this website and, as the data controller under the GDPR and applicable German data protection laws, is responsible for the processing of your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in a lawful, transparent, and secure way. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, the legal bases for processing, and the rights you have regarding your personal data.

 

When you visit our website or contact us, we may collect information that you provide voluntarily, such as your name, email address, and any details you submit through forms or direct communication. Our systems also automatically process certain technical data transmitted by your device, including your IP address, browser type, access times, pages viewed, and other information required for the secure and stable operation of the website. If you subscribe to newsletters or project updates, we process the email address and communication preferences you share with us.

 

We use personal data to respond to inquiries, communicate with users, operate and improve the website, analyse performance, maintain security, and, where you have given consent, send newsletters or updates. Data is processed in accordance with Article 6 GDPR, based on your consent, our legitimate interest in operating and improving the site, the necessity of responding to your requests, and compliance with legal obligations. We do not sell personal data.

 

Your data may be shared with service providers who support our hosting, analytics, email communication, or technical operations, and who process data strictly according to our instructions and in compliance with GDPR. Data may be transferred outside the EU only where adequate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, are in place. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Inquiries are generally stored for up to twelve months, newsletter data until you unsubscribe, and analytics or technical data according to the retention periods of the relevant providers.

 

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to ensure functionality, analyse usage, and provide a stable user experience. You can disable cookies at any time in your browser settings, though some functions may be affected. We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse, while acknowledging that no online system can guarantee absolute security.

 

Under German and European data protection law, you have the right to access your personal data, request correction or deletion, restrict or object to processing, withdraw previously given consent, and request data portability. You may exercise these rights by contacting us at contact@anoukjans.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a German supervisory authority, such as the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection.

 

This website may contain links to external sites for which we are not responsible. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies separately. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or operational developments. The most recent version will always appear on this page with an updated date.
