Privacy Policy

We appre­ci­ate your inter­est in our web­site. The pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data when using our web­site is very impor­tant to us. Below, we inform you about what data we col­lect when you vis­it our web­site, how it is used, and what rights you have in this regard.

1. Name and Contact Details of the Data Controller

The data con­troller with­in the mean­ing of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and oth­er nation­al data pro­tec­tion laws of the Member States, as well as oth­er data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­sions, is:

Soloof EOOD, Boulevard Shesti Septemvri 141, 4000 Plovdiv, Phone: +49 761 48899304, Email: info-<at>-soloof.com

2. General Information on Data Processing

We only process your per­son­al data to the extent nec­es­sary to pro­vide a func­tion­al web­site and our con­tent and ser­vices. The pro­cess­ing of our users’ per­son­al data is gen­er­al­ly only car­ried out after the user has giv­en con­sent, unless obtain­ing pri­or con­sent is not pos­si­ble for fac­tu­al rea­sons, or the pro­cess­ing of the data is per­mit­ted by legal pro­vi­sions.

3. Collection of General Data and Information (Server Log Files)

Each time our web­site is accessed, our sys­tem auto­mat­i­cal­ly col­lects data and infor­ma­tion from the com­put­er sys­tem of the access­ing com­put­er. This data is tech­ni­cal­ly nec­es­sary to dis­play our web­site to you and to ensure its sta­bil­i­ty and secu­ri­ty. This includes the fol­low­ing data:

• Browser type and brows­er ver­sion
• Operating sys­tem used
• Referrer URL (the pre­vi­ous­ly vis­it­ed page)
• Hostname of the access­ing com­put­er
• Time of the serv­er request
• IP address (pos­si­bly in trun­cat­ed form)

The stor­age of this data in log files is nec­es­sary to ensure the web­site’s func­tion­al­i­ty. In addi­tion, the data helps us opti­mize the web­site and ensure the secu­ri­ty of our infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tems. The data is not eval­u­at­ed for mar­ket­ing pur­pos­es in this con­text.

The legal basis for the tem­po­rary stor­age of the data and the log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legit­i­mate inter­est lies in ensur­ing the secu­ri­ty and sta­bil­i­ty of our web­site.

4. No Cookies and No Analytics Scripts

We do not use cook­ies on our web­site. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the inter­net brows­er or by the inter­net brows­er on the user’s com­put­er sys­tem. Furthermore, we do not use any scripts that ana­lyze or track user behav­ior on our web­site.

5. Contacting Us by Email (via Mailto Link)

You will find a con­tact form on our web­site. When you fill out this form and click the “Submit” but­ton, the data you entered is not trans­mit­ted direct­ly to our web serv­er and stored there. Instead, your local­ly installed default email pro­gram (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird) is opened. The infor­ma­tion you entered in the con­tact form, such as your name, email address, and your mes­sage, is auto­mat­i­cal­ly trans­ferred into an email addressed to the email address pro­vid­ed on our web­site.

This email is only sent to us when you active­ly con­firm and send it from your email pro­gram. At that point, the data is trans­mit­ted from your email pro­gram to the mail serv­er of your email provider and sub­se­quent­ly to our email serv­er. The fur­ther pro­cess­ing and stor­age of this data then fol­lows the process of a reg­u­lar email cor­re­spon­dence.

The per­son­al data you trans­mit (e.g., name, email address, con­tent of the mes­sage) is used sole­ly for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing your inquiry and for com­mu­ni­ca­tion with you.

The legal basis for this data pro­cess­ing is your con­sent pur­suant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you grant by send­ing the email via your email pro­gram.

We store the trans­mit­ted emails and the data con­tained there­in for as long as nec­es­sary to process your inquiry, to ful­fill legal reten­tion oblig­a­tions, or to safe­guard legit­i­mate inter­ests (e.g., in the event of a legal dis­pute).

6. Embedding of YouTube Videos

We have embed­ded YouTube videos on our web­site, which are stored on https://​www​.youtube​.com and can be played direct­ly from our web­site. These are all embed­ded in “enhanced pri­va­cy mode,” mean­ing that no data about you as a user is trans­mit­ted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Data is only trans­mit­ted when you play the videos. We have no con­trol over this data trans­fer.

By play­ing the video, YouTube receives the infor­ma­tion that you have accessed the cor­re­spond­ing sub­page of our web­site. Furthermore, addi­tion­al data is trans­mit­ted to YouTube (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). This occurs regard­less of whether YouTube pro­vides a user account that you are logged into or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be direct­ly asso­ci­at­ed with your account. If you do not wish this asso­ci­a­tion with your YouTube pro­file, you must log out before acti­vat­ing the but­ton. YouTube stores your data as usage pro­files and uses them for pur­pos­es of adver­tis­ing, mar­ket research, and/or the demand-ori­ent­ed design of its web­site. Such eval­u­a­tion is car­ried out in par­tic­u­lar (even for users who are not logged in) to pro­vide tai­lored adver­tis­ing and to inform oth­er users about your activ­i­ties on our web­site. You have the right to object to the cre­ation of these user pro­files; to exer­cise this right, you must con­tact YouTube.

Further infor­ma­tion on the pur­pose and scope of data col­lec­tion and its pro­cess­ing by YouTube can be found in Google’s pri­va­cy pol­i­cy. There you will also find fur­ther infor­ma­tion on your rights and set­ting options to pro­tect your pri­va­cy: https://​poli​cies​.google​.com/​p​r​i​v​acy.

The legal basis for the embed­ding of the YouTube videos and the asso­ci­at­ed data pro­cess­ing is your con­sent pur­suant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you grant by active­ly click­ing on and play­ing the video. By play­ing the video, you con­sent to the data pro­cess­ing by YouTube and Google.

Please note that YouTube is a ser­vice pro­vid­ed by Google, whose servers are locat­ed in the USA. This may result in a trans­fer of data to the USA. The USA is assessed by the Court of Justice of the European Union as a coun­try with a lev­el of data pro­tec­tion that is inad­e­quate accord­ing to EU stan­dards. There is a risk that your data may be processed by US author­i­ties for con­trol and mon­i­tor­ing pur­pos­es, with­out you nec­es­sar­i­ly hav­ing effec­tive legal reme­dies against this.

• Right to with­draw con­sent (Article 7(3) GDPR): You have the right to with­draw your data pro­tec­tion con­sent at any time. The with­draw­al of con­sent does not affect the law­ful­ness of pro­cess­ing based on con­sent before its with­draw­al.
• Right to lodge a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty (Article 77 GDPR): Without prej­u­dice to any oth­er admin­is­tra­tive or judi­cial rem­e­dy, you have the right to lodge a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty, in par­tic­u­lar in the Member State of your habit­u­al res­i­dence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringe­ment if you con­sid­er that the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data relat­ing to you infringes the GDPR.
