1. Controller
The controller responsible for the processing of personal data on this website is:
Diethard Sohn
Artist name: ditArdo
Leierwiesen 11
70180 Stuttgart
Germany
Email: info@comic-kubismus.de
Website: comic-cubism.com
2. General Information
The protection of your personal data is important to me. Personal data is processed on this website only insofar as this is necessary for the operation of the website, communication with visitors and interested parties, and, where applicable, enquiries concerning artworks or appointments.
The processing of personal data is governed in particular by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable German data protection law.
This website does not use analytics or marketing services and does not carry out personal visitor tracking.
3. Hosting and Server Log Files
When you visit this website, technically necessary information may be processed by the web server. This may include:
- IP address of the accessing device
- date and time of access
- requested page or file
- amount of data transferred
- browser type and browser version
- operating system
- referrer URL
- access status or HTTP status code
This processing is necessary in order to provide the website technically, maintain its stability and security and detect possible technical problems or attacks.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in the secure and reliable operation of this website.
Server data is retained only for as long as necessary for these technical and security purposes and is subsequently deleted, unless statutory retention obligations or a specific security incident require longer storage.
The hosting provider processes data solely as required for the technical provision of the website and, where applicable, on the basis of a data processing agreement.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website does not use cookies or similar technologies for advertising, analytics or tracking purposes.
Where technically necessary cookies or comparable storage technologies are used, they serve exclusively to provide functions expressly requested by the user or to ensure the secure technical operation of the website.
Such technically necessary operations are carried out in accordance with Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) and, where personal data is processed, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
No marketing or analytics cookies requiring consent are used.
5. Web Fonts
Fonts used on this website are hosted locally on the website’s own server.
The display of these fonts therefore does not, in itself, establish a connection to Google Fonts or another external font provider.
6. Contact
If you contact me by email or through an enquiry function provided on the website, the information you provide will be processed for the purpose of responding to your enquiry.
This may include:
- your name
- your email address
- the content of your message
- information concerning an artwork
- information concerning a requested studio visit or appointment
- any other information you provide voluntarily
Where your enquiry relates to the purchase of an artwork, a commission, an exhibition, a project or another contractual or pre-contractual relationship, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
General enquiries are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in responding to and managing enquiries addressed to me.
The data will be deleted once the enquiry has been fully dealt with, unless statutory retention requirements or other legitimate reasons require further storage.
7. Artwork and Purchase Enquiries
The website may provide an option to express an interest in purchasing or obtaining further information about an artwork.
Information submitted for this purpose is used exclusively to process the specific enquiry, provide information about the artwork and, where applicable, arrange a purchase, viewing or further communication.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual measures and, where applicable, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for general communication.
This information is not used for automated advertising or profiling.
8. Appointment Requests
Where this website provides the possibility to arrange a studio visit or another appointment, the information required for this purpose is processed exclusively to organise and carry out the requested appointment.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR or, in the case of general visit enquiries, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data will be deleted when it is no longer required for arranging or carrying out the appointment, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
9. External Links and Instagram
This website contains links to external websites and social networks, including Instagram and other websites operated by Diethard Sohn.
These are ordinary external links.
Only when you actively click such a link do you leave this website and establish a connection with the respective external provider. From that point onwards, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.
No Instagram posts or other social-media content are automatically embedded on this website in a way that establishes a connection to the social network merely by visiting the page.
10. No Analytics or Profiling
This website does not use services such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or comparable analytics or marketing services.
No personal user profiles are created, and no automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR takes place.
11. Recipients of Personal Data
Personal data is not disclosed to third parties unless this is necessary for processing an enquiry, performing a contract, operating the website technically or complying with a legal obligation.
Technical service providers, in particular hosting or email service providers, may have access to personal data where this is necessary for the provision of their services. Where required by law, they are contractually obliged to process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
12. Retention Period
Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose of processing.
Where statutory retention obligations apply, in particular under tax or commercial law, the relevant data will be retained for the legally required period.
Once the applicable retention periods have expired, the data will be deleted unless another legal basis permits or requires continued storage.
13. Your Rights
Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have in particular the right to:
- obtain access to your personal data under Art. 15 GDPR
- request correction of inaccurate personal data under Art. 16 GDPR
- request erasure of your personal data under Art. 17 GDPR
- request restriction of processing under Art. 18 GDPR
- receive your data in a portable format under Art. 20 GDPR, where the statutory requirements are met
- object to certain processing under Art. 21 GDPR
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.
To exercise your rights, please contact:
14. Right to Lodge a Complaint
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable data protection law.
The supervisory authority particularly relevant to the controller’s place of establishment is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
15. Security
This website uses an encrypted HTTPS connection. This helps protect data transmitted between your browser and the web server against simple interception by third parties.
16. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy will be updated where changes to the technical configuration of the website, the services used or applicable legal requirements make this necessary.
