Privacy Policy
We appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is a high priority for the management of LandyMedia. In general, you can use the LandyMedia website without providing any personal data. However, if you wish to use certain services offered via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and no statutory basis exists for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data—such as your name, address, email address, or telephone number—will always be carried out in compliance with the GDPR and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to LandyMedia. Through this Privacy Policy, we aim to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. We also explain the rights to which individuals (data subjects) are entitled.
As the controller responsible for data processing, LandyMedia has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the highest possible level of protection for personal data processed through this website. Nonetheless, internet-based data transmissions can have security gaps, and absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as telephone.
1. Definitions
This Privacy Policy is based on the terms used by the European legislators when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our goal is to ensure that this Policy is easily readable and understandable for both the public as well as our customers and business partners. Therefore, we will explain some of the key terms used here:
-
a) Personal Data
Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to identifiers such as a name, ID number, location data, an online identifier, or factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.
-
b) Data Subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.
-
c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
-
d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
-
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data intended to evaluate certain personal aspects related to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning their performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
-
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization means processing personal data in such a way that these data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information, as long as such additional information is kept separately and subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
-
g) Controller
The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
-

-
j) Third Party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons authorized to process personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.
-
k) Consent
Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they signify agreement to the processing of their personal data.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
-
d) Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, to request from the controller the immediate erasure of personal data concerning them, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
- The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
- The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
- The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
- The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
- The erasure of the personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
- The personal data were collected in relation to the offer of information society services according to Art. 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by LandyMedia, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of LandyMedia will ensure that the erasure request is complied with promptly.
If the personal data have been made public by LandyMedia and our company, as the controller, is obligated pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, LandyMedia, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to these personal data or copies or replications thereof, unless processing is required. The LandyMedia employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
-
e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, to request the controller to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions applies:
- The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
- The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
- The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
- The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet determined whether the controller’s legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by LandyMedia, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The LandyMedia employee will arrange the restriction of processing.
-
f) Right to Data Portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data were provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability under Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact a LandyMedia employee at any time.
-
g) Right to Object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of such an objection, LandyMedia will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If LandyMedia processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to LandyMedia’s processing for direct marketing purposes, LandyMedia will no longer process their personal data for these purposes.
Additionally, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any LandyMedia employee or another employee. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated processes that use technical specifications.
-
h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that (1) the decision is not necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or (3) it is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, LandyMedia will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their own viewpoint, and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise rights related to automated individual decision-making, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
-
i) Right to Withdraw Consent
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislature, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
Data Protection Regulations for the Use of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of the Facebook company on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an online meeting place operated via the internet—an online community that generally allows users to communicate and interact with each other in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences, or it can enable the online community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical procedure, Facebook obtains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes, with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook user account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores these personal data.
Through the Facebook component, Facebook always receives information that the data subject has visited our website if, at the time of accessing our website, they are logged into Facebook; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such transmission of information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what setting options Facebook offers to protect the data subject’s privacy. In addition, different applications are available that can be used by the data subject to prevent data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
9. Data Protection Regulations for the Use of Google AdSense
The controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service through which advertising can be placed on third-party websites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects ads displayed on third-party pages according to the content of the respective third-party page. Google AdSense enables interest-based targeting of internet users, which is implemented by creating individual user profiles.
The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. The nature of cookies has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and commission accounting. As part of this technical procedure, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the data subject’s IP address, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the web browser used, as described above, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the web browser would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Additionally, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons. A web beacon is a small graphic embedded in websites to enable log file recording and analysis, allowing for a statistical evaluation. By using the embedded web beacon, Alphabet Inc. can identify if and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked by the data subject. Web beacons serve, among other purposes, to evaluate the visitor flow of a website.
Through Google AdSense, personal data and information—which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and billing of displayed advertisements—are transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. These personal data are stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may share these personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.
Google AdSense is further explained at the following link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.
Data Protection Regulations for the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis involves the collection, aggregation, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data about which website a data subject accessed our site from (the “referrer”), which subpages of the website were accessed, and how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is primarily used to optimize a website and to conduct cost-benefit analyses of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” add-on for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if the website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the obtained data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component is integrated, is accessed, the data subject’s internet browser is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google obtains personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission accounting.
By means of the cookie, personal information such as the time of access, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject is stored. Each time our website is visited, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a browser setting would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Additionally, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of these data by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to inform Google Analytics that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject’s IT system is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or by another person within their area of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and Google’s applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is further explained at the following link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
11. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of Instagram
The controller has integrated Instagram components into this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform, enabling users to share photos and videos and to disseminate such content across other social networks.
The operating company of Instagram’s services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time a data subject accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) is integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding Instagram component. During this technical procedure, Instagram gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website the data subject has visited.
If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram can determine which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits each time they access our site, and for the entire duration of their stay on our site. This information is collected by the Instagram component and associated by Instagram with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated into our website, the data and information transferred will be associated with the data subject’s personal Instagram account and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component whenever the data subject visits our website and is logged into Instagram at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transferred to Instagram, they can prevent it by logging out of their Instagram account before visiting our website.
Further information about Instagram’s privacy policy can be found at:
https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388
https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/
12. Payment Method: Privacy Policy Regarding PayPal as a Payment Method
The controller has integrated PayPal components into this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed through so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also allows payments via credit cards if the user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, so there is no traditional account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and provides buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg.
If the data subject chooses “PayPal” as the payment method during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data necessary for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal usually includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. Data that is necessary to fulfill the purchase contract is also processed if it relates to the specific order.
The transmission of the data aims at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest for the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission aims at identity and credit checks.
PayPal may disclose personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data should be processed on behalf of PayPal.
The data subject has the option to revoke their consent to the handling of personal data at any time with respect to PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted necessarily for (contractual) payment processing.
The applicable PayPal privacy policy can be found at:
https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full
13. Legal Basis of Processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as our company’s legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, such as when processing operations are required for a delivery of goods or to provide another service or return service, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data—such as for fulfilling tax obligations—then the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured at our premises and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would need to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In such a scenario, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal grounds, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or a third party, unless such interests are overridden by the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
14. Legitimate Interests in the Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business activities for the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
Duration for Which Personal Data is Stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract.
16. Legal or Contractual Requirements for the Provision of Personal Data; We hereby inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can result from contractual provisions (e.g., details about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, or is necessary for contract conclusion, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
17. Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
