data privacy statement

Basics

This privacy statement is intended to inform users of this website about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by SengaServ UG (limitation of liability).

We take your privacy very seriously and treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal requirements. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. As new technologies and the constant development of this website may result in changes to this data protection declaration, we recommend that you read the data protection declaration again at regular intervals.

We have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the highest possible level of protection of personal data collected via this website. However, Internet-based services may in principle have security features that do not provide absolute protection.

access data

Due to our legitimate interest (see art. 6 par. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) we collect data about accesses to the website and store these as “server log files“ on the server of the website. The following data is logged:

  • Page visited
  • Time at the time of access
  • quantity of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you came to the page
  • browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then saved. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. in order to detect misuse. If data have to be kept for evidentiary reasons, they are excluded from the solution until the incident has been finally resolved. When using this information, we do not draw any conclusions on the person concerned. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

Collection of Personal Data via Cookies

Cookies are used on our website for various purposes:

  • Technically Necessary Cookies (Joomla Framework) We use cookies from the Joomla framework to ensure the security and basic functions of this website. These cookies are technically required for operation and cannot be deactivated.
  • Analysis and Advertising (Google Analytics & Google AdSense) Provided you have given your consent via our consent management system (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR), we use services from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
    • Google Analytics: Used for measuring reach and analyzing our online offering.
    • Google AdSense: Enables the display of advertisements to keep this service free of charge. Web beacons (invisible graphics) may also be used for this purpose. The information collected may be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the USA. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
    • Google Maps: We integrate maps from the "Google Maps" service to make it easier for you to search for swimming pools geographically and to visualize locations. In order for the map to be displayed, Google must process your IP address.

    These services are only activated after you have given your express consent. You can view your selection at any time and revoke it with effect for the future via our consent management system (InMobi Choice). To do so, click on the blue shield icon at the bottom left.

Privacy Optimization via Proxy Technology

To protect your privacy, we use our own proxy solution for the integration of our consent management system (InMobi Choice). This prevents your IP address or other browser data from being transmitted in an uncontrolled manner to servers in third countries (especially the USA) as soon as the website is loaded. All communication with the provider takes place via our own server in Germany/EU, which acts as a security filter. Data is only processed within the scope of your selection once you have given explicit consent via the banner.

Integrated Third-Party Providers (Vendors)

We use the IAB-compliant TCF framework. A complete and up-to-date list of all providers whose data processing you can consent to can be found directly in our consent management tool. To do this, click on the consent icon (bottom left) and click on "Partners". There you will find detailed information on each company, the categories of data processed, and the respective data protection regulations of the providers.

Active input of data

There are places on our website where you can voluntarily enter or upload data:

  1. Registration
  2. comment function
  3. Upload photos

Personal data is also collected here. In the following, we explain which data are collected why for these three cases:

Registration

There is the possibility to register on our website. Registration requires the following information:

  • Name
  • username
  • password
  • E-mail address

This data is stored on our server. The storage of the password is simplified as a so-called hash, so that this cannot be restored in principle. Registered users can rate comments from other users on our website, create comments without re-entering their user name and upload photos immediately. We use the data collected during registration only for the purpose of simplifying the use of our website and preventing misuse. We will not pass this data on to third parties without your express consent. The data entered during registration will be processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You may revoke your consent at any time and ask us to delete your user profile. All you need to do is send an informal message by e-mail. If we store your user profile with us, your posts written up to that point will remain accessible, but will be made anonymous. An exception is when your contributions are quoted in discussions. Such quotations remain unchanged for technical reasons. Against this background, too, we reserve the right not to choose your business name as your user name.

comment function

If you leave a post or comment on our website, you will be asked to enter a user name next to the comment itself if you are not registered and logged in as a user. We do not require you to enter your name or e-mail address to make a comment. However, we do store your IP address. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO and serves the security of us as website operator: Because if your comment should offend against valid right, we can be sued for it, why we have an interest in the identity of the comment and/or contribution author. The comments and the associated data are stored and remain on our server. If you would like to have your comment's personal data deleted, an informal e-mail message is sufficient. In this case, after checking the comment for legality, we will delete the stored IP address and make the user name anonymous. An exception is when your contributions are quoted in discussions. Such quotations remain unchanged for technical reasons. Against this background, too, we reserve the right not to choose your business name as your user name.

Upload photos

If you upload a photo of a bathroom to our website, you will be asked to enter the data required for registration if you are not registered as a user and logged in. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO and serves the security of us as website operators: If your photo violates applicable law, we may be prosecuted, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the person who uploads the photo. The data entered in this process will be processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You may revoke your consent at any time and request that we delete the user profile automatically created during the process of validating your e-mail address. All you need to do is send an informal message by e-mail. When we store your user profile with us, photos uploaded by you will also be stored on our website.

Use your location for perimeter search

Optionally, you can use your location for the perimeter search. This is done via a function of your browser, which transfers your location to our server. Your location will only be used for perimeter search and will not be stored on our server.

Your rights

You have the right at any time and free of charge to receive information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You have the right to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. For this an informal e-mail is sufficient. The legality of data processing until revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection.
