General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data refers to data that can personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.

Information on the Responsible Party
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Irina Schulz
Taubenäckerweg 56
74189 Weinsberg

Phone: +49 1525 9676161
Email: info@shuaniri.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or together with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration
Unless a specific storage period is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate 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., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website
If you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed under Article 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Notice on Data Transfers to Third Countries and US Companies Not Certified by DPF
We use tools from companies located in countries that do not have adequate data protection levels and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like to point out that in third countries without adequate data protection, a level of protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed.

The USA is generally considered a safe third country with data protection levels comparable to the EU. Data transfers to the USA are permissible if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate safeguards. Information about transfers to third countries and data recipients can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. Sometimes, the transfer of personal data to these parties is required. We only transfer personal data to external parties when it is necessary for contract fulfillment, when we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transferring data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in doing so under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or when another legal basis allows it. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or place of the alleged violation. This right is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in the performance of a contract automatically handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only happen if it is technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion
You have the right to access your stored personal data free of charge at any time, as well as information about its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. For these and other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

– If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
– If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
– If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
– If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data may—apart from being stored—only be processed with your consent, or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
