Privacy Policy

As the operator of this website, we take the protection of your data seriously (when we speak of website, this also includes its subpages). It is treated confidentially and in accordance with the legal regulations, in particular the DS- GVO (European Data Protection Regulation) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

By accessing this website and using the functions contained therein, your personal data will be processed in various ways. “Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. The term “processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction (Art. 4 No. 2 DS-GVO).

Please note that data transmissions on the internet can generally be affected by security gaps. These may not be reliably closed against access by third parties. This applies in particular to communication by e-mail. Nevertheless, we continuously use security techniques that correspond to the respective customary and reasonable state of the art.

With the following data protection declaration, we would like to inform you which personal data we process and for what purpose, and which rights you and we are entitled to in relation to the processing.

1. Name and address of the data controller

The responsible person within the meaning of the DS-GVO Data Protection Regulation and other legal provisions relating to data protection responsibility in the Member States of the European Union is:

GUMAK Media e.K., Owner: Gulliame Amaho Ike.
Brühler Str. 41
50968 Cologne
+49 (0)173 – 2136 -667
Email Address

2. Duration of storage/time of deletion of your personal data

As a matter of principle, we process your data – in particular in the form of retention/storage – only as long as this is necessary within the framework of the legal basis stated for the respective processing purpose. Insofar as we do not specify any concrete information for the duration of the storage or the point in time of the deletion of your data, this will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Contractual and statutory retention and documentation obligations must be taken into account here. Corresponding periods / time limits may be contractually agreed or may result from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO), among others, and in this case may already be 10 years or longer. They are justified by Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a), lit. b) and/or lit. c) in conjunction with Art. 17 para. 3 lit. b) and/or lit. c) DS-GVO, § 35 para. 3 BDSG (new).

Furthermore, storage and documentation obligations may be in our legitimate interest, unless your interests merit protection. For example, it may be in our legitimate interest to retain and store personal data, including data embodied in documents, photos and records, in order to preserve evidence until the expiry of limitation periods in the event of legal disputes. Limitation periods can be shorter or longer, even up to 30 years, depending on the subject matter of the claim. The relevant legal basis results from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) in conjunction with Art. 17 para. 3 lit. e) DS-GVO. We refrain from naming all facts relevant to the statute of limitations, as this would limit the transparency of this data protection declaration.

Finally, we may refrain from deleting personal data pursuant to Section 35 (1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) if, in the case of non- automated data processing, this is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special nature of the storage and your interest in the deletion is to be considered minor. 2In this case, deletion shall be replaced by restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 DS-GVO. This does not apply if your personal data have been processed unlawfully.

3. Calling up our website

When you call up our website and while you remain on the website, the following general data is essentially collected and temporarily stored in the log files of our servers:

• types and versions of the browser you use;
• the operating system you use to access our website;
• Internet pages from which our website may be accessed (also called referrer URL);
• the IP address (Internet Protocol address) through which our site is accessed;
• the date and time of access;
• the name of your Internet provider through which you access the Internet (access provider);
• Internet pages that are accessed by you via our website.

This data is processed in our legitimate interest for technical purposes, in particular for the permanent and secure functioning of the connection, for customer service purposes for the optimization of the user-friendliness of our system and for evidence documentation purposes for the possible prosecution of criminal offences or civil law claims as well as for the defense against attacks on our system. From our point of view, there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not having the data processed by us for the purpose stated here, especially since you voluntarily decide to call up our website.

The legal basis for the aforementioned processing of the data results from Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO.

The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by you.

When you access our website and its subpages, cookies and analysis tools used by us are also used. In this regard, we refer to the explanations below under point 7 (Cookies).

4. Mailto function

We provide mailto functions on our website for your use. This enables you to contact us via our website, for example to ask questions about existing contractual relationships between us or to make suggestions. If you make use of this option, we will store your e-mail address and, if applicable, your name so that communication can take place. Whether you provide further personal data (such as name, home address or long-distance communication numbers) when using this contact function is up to you. If you provide such data, we will process your name, home address and long-distance communication numbers.

If you provide the e-mails with attachments, these will also be stored with any personal data they contain.

The provision of your personal data in the above context is voluntary and at your instigation for the purpose of communicating with us. The processing by us is carried out in our legitimate interest in customer-oriented communication. From our point of view, there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not having the data processed by us for the purpose stated here, especially since you voluntarily decide to provide your data. The processing is therefore in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO. Depending on the content of the communication, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO may also come into consideration as a legal basis, for example if the communication serves contractual – also pre- and post-contractual – measures.

The time of deletion of your data depends on the content of the communication and cannot be determined in advance. However, if there are no storage and documentation obligations or overriding legitimate interests on our part, the data will be deleted after the communication has ended.

5. Telephone, fax and e-mail contact

On our website, we provide telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses through which you can also contact us. Insofar as personal data is communicated to us in a telephone call, fax or in an e-mail, this data will be processed.

(a) Telephone

When you call us, we may collect your name and other data, such as home address, e-mail address, telephone number, date and time and reason for the call, insofar as this is necessary for the effective processing of your request. The collection is done by asking you personally to provide this data.

When you call, we assume that it is in relation to the initiation of a contractual relationship, to measures relating to an existing contractual relationship or to post-contractual obligations arising therefrom. In this respect, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Furthermore, the processing is carried out in our overriding interest for the purpose of documenting evidence for the possible assertion of legal claims and for possible criminal prosecution. There is no reason for us to assume here that interests worthy of protection of your person outweigh our legitimate interests in the processing of your data. In this respect, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DS- GVO applies as the legal basis.

(b) Fax

Faxes received by us, including your personal data contained therein, are processed insofar as this is necessary for the effective processing of the request expressed in the fax.

If the fax is sent to us in connection with the initiation of a contractual relationship, measures relating to an existing contractual relationship or post- contractual obligations arising therefrom, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Furthermore, the processing is carried out in our overriding interest for the purpose of documenting evidence for the possible assertion of legal claims and for possible criminal prosecution. Here too, there is no reason for us to assume that interests worthy of protection of your person outweigh our legitimate interests in processing your data. In this respect, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DS-GVO applies as the legal basis.

(c) E-mail

E-mails received by us are also processed, including your personal data contained therein or in attachments to the e-mail, insofar as this is necessary for the effective processing of the request expressed in the e-mail.

If the e-mail is sent to us in relation to the initiation of a contractual relationship, to measures relating to an existing contractual relationship or to post- contractual obligations arising therefrom, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Furthermore, the processing is carried out in our overriding interest for the purpose of documenting evidence for the possible assertion of legal claims and for possible criminal prosecution. Here too, there is no reason for us to assume that interests worthy of protection of your person outweigh our legitimate interests in processing your data. In this respect, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DS-GVO applies as the legal basis.

6. Booking courses

We offer the possibility to book courses with us on our website. We use the Appointments and Events WordPress Booking Plugin by Amelia.

On our website we offer the possibility to book courses with us. For this purpose, we collect and process your name, telephone number, home address and email address. We store this data in order to be able to properly process the courses and their payment. As a rule, we delete your data when the courses have ended and we no longer need your data for accounting purposes and for tax reasons. The processing is justified by Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. and c. DSG-VO justified

Unless otherwise stated, cookies are generally used for technical purposes to simplify your use of our website. It may be that some cookies are technically necessary in order to be able to carry out functions of our website at all.

Our legitimate interest in the processing results from the aforementioned purposes. Here too, there is no reason for us to assume that interests worthy of protection of your person outweigh our legitimate interests in processing your data through cookies. The legal basis for the processing of data obtained through cookies is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO.

You have the option to prevent cookies from functioning. To do this, you must go to the settings of your browser and activate the corresponding block and/or delete functions. It may be that the use of our website is no longer possible when blocking certain cookies.

Google Web Fonts are also used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers.
