3. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very
seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confidential information and in
compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection
Declaration.
Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected.
Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data
Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this
data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.
We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail
communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect
data against third-party access.

The data processing controller on this website is:
MUSEPOL Agency
Tal 42
80331 München
Phone: +49 (0) 123 44 55 66
E-mail: hello@musepol.com
The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with
others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal
data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your
personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer
applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data
processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for
storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case,
the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according
to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third
countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented
to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end device (e.g., via device
fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent
can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for
the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art.
6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation,
we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be
carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following
paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Information on the data transfer to third-party countries that are not secure under
data protection law and the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified
We use, among other technologies, tools from companies located in third-party countries
that are not safe under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not
certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are enabled, your
personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like you
to note that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in
third countries that are insecure in terms of data protection law.
We would like to point out that the US, as a secure third-party country, generally has a
level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the US is therefore
permitted if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or
has appropriate additional assurances. Information on transfers to third-party countries,
including the data recipients, can be found in this Privacy Policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some
cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only
disclose personal data to external parties if this is required as part of the fulfillment of a
contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we
have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal
basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose personal
data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of
joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express
consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall
be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your
revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct
advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR,
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR
PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS
ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE
LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS
DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER
PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO
PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF
YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE
PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL
ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT
ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR
AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME.
THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH
DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO
LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO
ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a
supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their
domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to
log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings
available as legal recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent
or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common,
machine-readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another
controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
Information about, rectification and eradication of data
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to demand
information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the
purpose of the processing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your
data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other
questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Right to demand processing restrictions
You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of
your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to
demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
●
In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us,
we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this
investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the
processing of your personal data.
●
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner,
you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data
instead of demanding the eradication of this data.
●
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend
or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the
processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
●
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our
rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been
determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of
the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception
of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or
defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities
or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of
the EU.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as
purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses
either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by
checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and
also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third
parties.
4. Recording of data on this website
Cookies
Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.
” Cookies are small
data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored
temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently
archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted
once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until
you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called
third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of
third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain
website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart
function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or
for promotional purposes.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication
transactions, for the provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping
cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the
website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be
stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator
of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the
technically error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to
the storage of the cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the
processing occurs exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and §
25 (1) TDDDG); this consent may be revoked at any time.
You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any
time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases.
You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate
the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If
cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
Consent with Cookie Notice & Compliance
Our website uses the consent technology of Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR to
obtain your consent for the archiving of certain cookies on your device or for the use of
certain technologies and for the data protection compliant documentation of the former.
The provider of the tool is Hu-manity Rights Inc., 300 Carnegie Center, Suite 150, Princeton,
NJ, New Jersey 08540, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Hu-manity Rights Inc.
”). When you
gain access to our website, a connection with the servers of Hu-manity Rights Inc. is
established to obtain your consent and other declarations related to the use of cookies.
Subsequently, Hu-manity Rights Inc. stores a cookie in your browser to be able to allocate
the granted consent and their revocation to you. The thus recorded data is stored until
you ask us to delete it, delete the Hu-manity Rights consent cookie yourself or the
purpose of data archiving is no longer valid. This does not affect mandatory statutory
retention periods.
Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR is being used to obtain the consent for the use of
cookies required by law. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Data processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the
above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that
guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our
instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal
data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing
your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.
These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the
fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In
all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the
effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your
consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to
delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g.
after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory
retention periods - remain unaffected.
5. Analysis tools and advertising
Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)
To measure conversion rates, this website uses the visitor activity pixel of Meta. The
provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2,
Ireland. According to Meta’s statement the collected data will be transferred to the USA
and other third-party countries too.
This tool allows the tracking of page visitors after they have been linked to the website of
the provider after clicking on a Meta ad. This makes it possible to analyze the effectiveness
of Meta ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future
advertising campaigns.
For us as the operators of this website, the collected data is anonymous. We are not in a
position to arrive at any conclusions as to the identity of users. However, Meta archives the
information and processes it, so that it is possible to make a connection to the respective
user profile on Facebook or Instagram and Meta is in a position to use the data for its own
promotional purposes in compliance with the Meta Data Usage Policy
(https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Meta to display ads on Facebook
or Instagram and other advertising channels. We as the operator of this website have no
control over the use of such data.
The use of these services occurs on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR
and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time.
Within the meta pixel, we are using the expanded alignment function.
The expanded alignment allows us to transfer to Meta different types of data (e.g., place of
residence, federal state, zip code, hashed email addresses, names, gender, date of birth or
phone number) of our customers and prospects we collect through our website.
Herewith, we can tailor the offers presented in our advertising campaigns on Facebook
and Instagram to individuals interested in what we offer even more precisely. Moreover,
this expanded alignment optimizes the allocation of website conversions and expands
custom audiences.
Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described
here and forwarded to Meta, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal
Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data
processing (Art. 26 DSGVO). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection
of the data and its forwarding to Meta. The processing by Meta that takes place after the
onward transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us
have been jointly set out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement
can be found under: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to
this agreement, we are responsible for providing the privacy information when using the
Meta tool and for the privacy-secure implementation of the tool on our website. Meta is
responsible for the data security of Meta products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g.,
requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook or Instagram directly
with Meta. If you assert the data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to
Meta.
Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the
European Commission. Details can be found here:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and
https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.
In Meta’s Data Privacy Policies, you will find additional information about the protection of
your privacy at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You also have the option to deactivate the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” in
the ad settings section under
https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do
this, you first have to log into Facebook.
If you do not have a Facebook or Instagram account, you can deactivate any user-based
advertising by Meta on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising
Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
The company is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF).

US. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to comply with these data
protection standards. For more information, please contact the provider under the

6. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we will need from
you an e-mail address as well as information that allow us to verify that you are the owner
of the e-mail address provided and consent to the receipt of the newsletter. No further
data shall be collected or shall be collected only on a voluntary basis. We shall use such
data only for the sending of the requested information and shall not share such data with
any third parties.
The processing of the information entered into the newsletter subscription form shall
occur exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke the
consent you have given to the archiving of data, the e-mail address, and the use of this
information for the sending of the newsletter at any time, for instance by clicking on the
“Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of
any data processing transactions that have taken place to date.
The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored
by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and
deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or
after the purpose has ceased to apply. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail
addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of
our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be
stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if such action is necessary to
prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not
merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with
the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning
of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage
if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
