The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously.

We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy explains:

  • what data we collect,

  • how we use it,

The controller responsible for processing personal data on this website is:

Eskinder Mamo
Rheinsberger Str. 76/77
c/o Factory Works GmbH

Germany

Email: hello@eskindermamo.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

Data Retention

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies.

If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent, your personal data will be deleted unless we are legally entitled or required to retain it (for example, under tax or commercial record-keeping laws). In such cases, deletion will occur once those legal retention obligations expire.

Legal Basis for Data Processing

If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of personal data under Article 9(1) GDPR are processed.

If you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (for example through device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Where your data is necessary to perform a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process it on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, we process your data under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The specific legal basis applicable in each case is explained in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external service providers. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data.

We disclose personal data to third parties only when:

  • it is necessary for the performance of a contract;

  • we are legally required to do so (for example, disclosure to tax authorities);

  • we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; or

  • another legal basis permits the transfer.

Where processors are engaged, personal data is transferred only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement (DPA).

Where data is processed jointly with another controller, a Joint Controller Agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Consent

Many processing activities require your explicit consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Right to Object (Article 21 GDPR)

Where your personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

The applicable legal basis for processing can be found in this Privacy Policy.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Article 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to such processing, including profiling related to direct marketing.

If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (Article 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe that your rights under the GDPR have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or for the performance of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

Where technically feasible, you also have the right to request that we transfer this data directly to another controller.

Right of Access, Rectification,
and Erasure

Within the limits of applicable law, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge:

  • information about your stored personal data,

  • its origin,

  • its recipients,

  • the purpose of processing,

and, where applicable, the right to have that data corrected or deleted.

If you have questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

This right applies in particular in the following situations:

  • You contest the accuracy of your personal data. Processing may be restricted while we verify its accuracy.

  • The processing is unlawful, and you request restriction instead of deletion.

  • We no longer require the data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

  • You have objected under Article 21(1) GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether your interests override ours.

Where processing has been restricted, your data may, apart from storage, only be processed:

  • with your consent;

  • for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;

  • to protect the rights of another natural or legal person; or

  • for important public interest reasons of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries sent to us, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption.

You can recognize an encrypted connection when your browser's address changes from http:// to https:// and a padlock icon appears in the address bar.

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

4. Data Collection on This Website
Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide, including the contact details you enter, will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and handling any follow-up questions.

We will not share this data without your consent.

Processing is carried out:

  • under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures;

  • otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interest in efficiently handling inquiries (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR); or

  • on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), where consent has been requested.

Any consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (for example, after your inquiry has been fully processed).

Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

5. Newsletter
Newsletter Subscription Data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter.

No additional data is collected unless you voluntarily provide it.

We use this information exclusively to send the requested newsletter and do not share it with third parties.

The data entered into the newsletter subscription form is processed solely on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw your consent to the storage of your data, your email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link included in every newsletter.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Storage of Newsletter Data

The data you provide for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us, or by our newsletter service provider, until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. It will then be deleted from the mailing list after your subscription ends or once the purpose for processing no longer applies.

We reserve the right to remove or block email addresses from our mailing list at our own discretion where this is necessary to protect our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Personal data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

After you unsubscribe, your email address may be retained in a blacklist by us or our newsletter service provider where necessary to prevent future mailings. Blacklist data is used exclusively for this purpose and is not combined with any other data.

This serves both your interests and our legitimate interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Storage in the blacklist is not subject to a fixed retention period.

You may object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.
