High-quality translations

As operators of the website www.wordpower.de, we collect some data about our visitors where this is necessary. This privacy policy explains what we do with these “personal data”, and why. It also tells you how we look after your data, at what point your data are deleted, and what data protection rights you have. We assure you that we comply with data protection legislation and do all we can to protect your privacy. But there’s no denying it: the internet is all about data sharing and it still has many vulnerabilities. Even though your data are encrypted when you visit our website, they are still vulnerable, certainly at the point when they are shared with third-party sites. Please note that this privacy policy does not extend to any third-party sites you may access from our site, via a link, for instance. Please remember also that e-mails are unencrypted and therefore essentially not a secure means of communication.

Deleting data and storage period
Unless stated otherwise, we will delete your data when they are no longer required. In addition, your data will be blocked or deleted at the end of a statutory storage period, unless the signing or performance of a contract make it necessary to continue storing the data. There may be a legal requirement to store some data for longer periods of time. You are free to request information about the stored data at any time.

Accessing our website
During your visit to our website, inbound and outbound traffic is kept secure using SSL or TLS encryption. Encrypted connections are easy to recognise in your browser’s address bar: the address starts with “https://”, preceded by a padlock icon. We will not collect any personal data if you are simply browsing our website, except for the data transmitted by your browser to enable your visit. The most important data are these:

• Domain (e.g. www.wordpower.de)
• IP address (e.g. 95.91.215.xyz or 2a02:8109:9440:1198:bdb1:551f:xyz)
• Time (e.g. 11:45 on 25/05/2018)
• Request (e.g. the page requested and the protocol used)
• Status code (e.g. the information whether an error occurred in response to a page request)
• Bytes transferred (e.g. the data volume transferred when a page is requested)
• User agent (the browser you use, e.g. Chrome or Firefox)

The most relevant to you as a visitor to our website is your IP address, as this information could theoretically be used to identify you personally. As a safeguard to protect your privacy, we will therefore delete all data 3 days after you have accessed our website. The purpose of temporarily storing your data at the start of your visit is to establish the connection, and to ensure accessibility and the correct display of our website. The IP address and the above technical data are required to display the website correctly to visitors, and for troubleshooting. The legal basis for this is a so-called legitimate interest that has been assessed as part of the above safeguards and in compliance with European data protection requirements as per Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Contact form
If you wish to contact us using our contact form, you can include the following information:

• Name
• E-mail address
• Message

As a safeguard, transmission of your contact request is encrypted, like the whole website visit. Our contact form is designed to implement the principle of data minimisation, collecting only those data that are actually required. The purpose of collecting these data is only to contact you, which is why the data will only be used for that purpose. The legal basis for this is a so-called legitimate interest for the pursuit of the purpose, which has been assessed as part of the above safeguards and in compliance with European data protection requirements as per Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
