We take the protection of your personal data seriously and comply with the applicable data protection regulations. Personal data is collected on this website only to the extent technically necessary. Under no circumstances is the collected data sold or passed on to third parties for any other reason.
When you access this website, our own server collects and stores the following data (we do not use an external analytics service such as Google Analytics on the regular pages):
Purpose: secure and stable operation, protection against attacks, and statistical reach and campaign analysis (which pages and channels work). This analysis takes place exclusively on our own servers; no data is transferred to third parties.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in operation, security and reach measurement). This data is automatically deleted after 90 days at the latest. You can object to reach measurement at any time at info@pixelschnitzel.com (Art. 21 GDPR).
If you send us inquiries by email, phone or contact form, your details will be stored in order to process the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in responding effectively). The data is deleted once the matter has been fully processed, unless statutory retention obligations prevent this.
On the regular pages we do not set any advertising or marketing cookies. Technically necessary cookies (e.g. a session identifier and cookies for login functions on protected subpages) are used; these are exempt from consent under Section 25 para. 2 TDDDG.
On our advertising landing pages (the /lp area) marketing cookies and
pixels are additionally used — but only after your active consent via the cookie
notice there. Nothing is loaded without consent (see the “Conversion tracking”
section).
All fonts are served from our own server. There is no connection to Google Fonts or any other external CDN; your IP address is not transferred to third parties for this purpose.
Images for articles in the “News” section are sourced via Openverse under free licenses (Creative Commons / Public Domain). Author and license are stated in each case; the images are served from our own server.
If you reach one of our advertising landing pages (the /lp area) via
an ad and actively consent, we use services to measure ad performance:
In this context, pseudonymous identifiers and hashed contact data (e.g. email, phone number) may be processed and transmitted to these providers. A transfer to the USA takes place, based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG, which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future. Without consent, these services are not loaded.
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights at any time:
To exercise your rights or for questions about data protection, you can reach us at info@pixelschnitzel.com.
This website is hosted on servers in Germany with a GDPR-compliant German hosting provider under a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. For sending emails (e.g. confirmations for inquiries) we use the email service of the same provider.
Recipients / processors in this context are in particular: our hosting/email provider (Germany) and — only on the advertising landing pages and only after consent — Meta and Google (see “Conversion tracking”).
We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this privacy policy to current legal and technical requirements. The version valid at the time of your visit applies in each case.
