1. Introduction #
This website is operated by: Dr. Nina Rodmann.
It is very important to us to handle the data of our website visitors confidentially and to protect it in the best possible way. For this reason, we make every effort to comply with the requirements of the GDPR. In the following, we explain to you how we process your data on our website. To do this, we use language that is as clear and transparent as possible so that you can understand what happens to your data.
2. General information #
2.1 Processing of personal data and other terms
Data protection applies to the processing of personal data. “Personal” data means all data with which you can be personally identified. This is, for example, the IP address of the device (PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.) in front of you right now. Such data is processed when “something happens to it”. Here, for example, the IP is transmitted from the browser to our provider and automatically stored there. This is then a processing (according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) of personal data (according to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR). These and other legal definitions can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.
2.2 Applicable regulations/laws—GDPR, BDSG and TTDSG
The scope of data protection is regulated by law. In this case, these are the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as a European regulation and the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) as a national law. In addition, the TTDSG supplements the provisions of the GDPR as far as the use of cookies is concerned.
2.3 The person responsible
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is within the meaning of the GDPR. This is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
You can reach the person responsible at:
Dr. Nina Rodmann

2.4 How data is generally processed on this website
As we have already established, some data (e.g. IP address) is collected automatically. This data is mainly required for the technical provision of the website. If we also use personal data or collect other data, we will inform you of this at or ask for your consent. You consciously provide us with other personal data. You can find detailed information on this below.
2.5 Your rights
The GDPR provides you with comprehensive rights. These include, for example, free information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You can also request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data or complain to the responsible data protection supervisory authority. You can also revoke your consent at any time. The details of these rights and how to exercise them can be found at in the last section of this Privacy Policy.
2.6 Data protection—Our view
Data protection is more than just a chore for us. Personal data has great value and careful handling of this data should of course matter in our digitalized world. Furthermore, as a website visitor, you should be able to decide for yourself what “happens” to your data, when and by whom. We therefore undertake to comply with all legal provisions, collect only the data that is necessary for us and, of course, treat it confidentially.
2.7 Forwarding and deletion
The transfer and deletion of data are also important and sensitive issues. We would therefore like to briefly inform you in advance about our general approach to this. Data will only be passed on on the basis of a legal basis and only if this is unavoidable. This may be the case in particular if it is a so-called Data Processor and a Data Processing Agreement has been concluded in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We delete your data when the purpose and legal basis for processing no longer apply and the deletion does not conflict with any other legal obligations. Art. 17 GDPR also provides an overview of this. For further information, please refer to this Privacy Policy and contact us if you have any specific questions.
2.8 Hosting
This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host’s servers. This includes the automatically collected and stored log files (see below for more details) as well as all other data provided by website visitors. External hosting is used for the purpose of secure, fast and reliable provision of our website and, in this context, serves to fulfill the contract with our potential and existing customers. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b and f GDPR, as well as § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the terminal device of the website visitor or user within the meaning of the TTDSG. Our hoster only processes data that is necessary to fulfill its performance obligations and acts as our data processor, i.e. it is subject to our instructions.
We use the following hoster: Cloudflare Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, c/o Mindspace, 80331 Munich, Germany, https://www.cloudflare.com/de-de/privacypolicy/.
2.9 Legal basis
The processing of personal data always requires a legal basis. The GDPR provides the following possibilities in Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1:
a) The data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which is subject;
d) processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
e) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.
In the following sections, we will tell you the specific legal basis for the respective processing.
3. What happens on our website #
When you visit our website, we process your personal data. We use SSL or TLS encryption to protect this data in the best possible way against unauthorized access by third parties. You can recognize this encrypted connection by the fact that https:// or a lock symbol is displayed in the address bar of your browser. Below you can find out what data is collected when you visit our website, for what purpose this is done and on what legal basis.
3.1 Data collection when accessing the website
When you visit the website, information is automatically stored in so-called server log files. This is the following information:
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address.
This data is temporarily required in order to be able to display our website to you permanently and without any problems. In particular, this data is used for the following purposes:
• System security of the website
• System stability of the website
• Troubleshooting on the website
• Establishing a connection to the website
• Presentation of the website.
Data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and is based on our legitimate interest in the processing of this data, in particular our interest in the functionality of the website and its security. Where possible, this data is stored in pseudonymized form and deleted once the respective purpose has been achieved. If the server log files make it possible to identify the data subject, the data is stored for a maximum period of 14 days. An exception is made if a security-relevant event occurs. In this case, the server log files are stored until the security-relevant event has been resolved and finally clarified. Otherwise, no merging with other data takes place.
3.2 Cookies
This website doesn’t set cookies.
3.3 Data processing through user input
3.3.1 Contact us
a) E-mail If you contact us by e-mail, we will process your email address and any other data contained in the e-mail. This data is stored on the mail server and in some cases on the respective end devices. Depending on the request, the legal basis for this is regularly Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as the respective purpose no longer applies and it is possible in accordance with the legal requirements.
b) Contact form We offer a contact form. This is used to contact us. In this form, we generally process your name, your e-mail address and the content of the message. The data is stored on our web server and forwarded internally to the relevant e-mail addresses. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in responding to your request and in an uncomplicated way of contacting you. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. We delete this data no later than three months after receipt, unless it is required for a contractual relationship that has arisen. We use the contact form by Web3Forms (https://web3forms.com/privacy) on our website.
3.4 Audio and video conferencing
3.4.1 Zoom
We use Zoom to communicate with customers. Zoom is an online conferencing tool. This service is offered by Zoom Communications Inc, San Jose, 55 Almaden Boulevard, 6th Floor, San Jose, CA 95113, USA. When communicating with this tool via video or audio conferencing, personal data is processed by us and the provider of the tool. The data collected includes all information that you provide when using the tool. Metadata relating to the conference is also processed. Furthermore, technical information is processed which is required for the function of online communication. Furthermore, all files that are shared within the tool are stored on the tool provider’s servers. Zoom can also set cookies. These cookies are only set with consent. Consent can be revoked at any time. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for the processing of data by Zoom is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The communication is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the fulfillment of pre-contractual obligations. Furthermore, this tool is used to simplify communication with us. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This data is stored until is requested to be deleted by the data subject, consent to storage is withdrawn or the purpose for storage no longer applies. Cookies remain on the end device until deleted by the user. Mandatory statutory provisions on retention periods remain unaffected. The EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) apply to data transfers to the USA. Further information: https://zoom.us/de-de/privacy.html.
4. What else is important #
Finally, we would like to inform you in detail about your rights and tell you how you can be informed about changes to data protection requirements.
4.1 Your rights in detail
4.1.1 Right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR
You can request information as to whether your personal data is being processed. If this is the case, you can request further information on the type and manner of processing. A detailed list can be found in Art. 15 para. 1 lit. a to h GDPR.
4.1.2 Right to rectification in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR
This right includes the correction of incorrect data and the completion of incomplete personal data.
4.1.3 Right to erasure in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR
This so-called “right to be forgotten” gives you the right, under certain conditions, to request the erasure of personal data by the controller. This is generally the case if the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, if consent has been withdrawn or the initial processing took place without a legal basis. A detailed list of reasons can be found in Art. 17 para. 1 lit. a to f GDPR. This “right to be forgotten” also corresponds to the controller’s obligation under Art. 17 para. 2 GDPR to take reasonable steps to ensure that the data is generally erased.
4.1.4 Right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR
This right is subject to the conditions set out in Art. 18 para. 1 lit. a to d.
4.1.5 Right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR
This regulates the basic right to receive your own data in a commonly used form and to transfer it to another controller. However, this only applies to data processed on the basis of consent or a contract in accordance with Art. 20 (1) (a) and (b) and insofar as this is technically feasible.
4.1.6 Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR
You can generally object to the processing of your personal data. This applies in particular if your interest in objecting outweighs the legitimate interest of the controller in the processing and if the processing relates to direct marketing and/or profiling.
4.1.7 Right to “individual decision making” pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling), which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. However, this right is also restricted and supplemented by Art. 22 (2) and (4) GDPR.
4.1.8 Further rights
The GDPR contains comprehensive rights to inform third parties whether or how you have asserted rights under Art. 16, 17, 18 GDPR. However, this is only possible or feasible with reasonable effort. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you of your right to withdraw your consent in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point. We would also like to inform you of your rights under Sections 32 et seq. BDSG, which, however, are largely congruent with the rights just described.
4.1.9 Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this regulation.
5. What if the GDPR is abolished tomorrow or other changes take place? #
This Privacy Policy was last updated on April 22, 2024. From time to time it is necessary to adapt the content of the Privacy Policy in order to react to actual and legal changes. We therefore reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. We will publish the amended version in the same place.
