Privacy Policy

The German version of this privacy policy is the legally binding one. This English version is provided for information.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Alex D’Attoma
Gneisenaustraße 25
20253 Hamburg
Germany

Phone: +49 (0) 157 875 36014
Email: dattoma@me.com

No data protection officer has been appointed, as there is no legal obligation to do so.

2. Overview

This privacy policy explains which personal data is processed when you visit this website, for what purpose, on what legal basis and for how long. Personal data is any information that can identify you personally, such as your name, email address or IP address.

This website uses no analytics or tracking services and no advertising cookies.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by:

ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich
Owner: René Münnich
Hauptstraße 68
02742 Friedersdorf
Germany

When you visit the website, the host automatically collects information that your browser transmits, in so-called server log files:

  • IP address
  • date and time of access
  • page or file requested
  • referrer URL (the previously visited page)
  • browser type and version, operating system
  • amount of data transferred and HTTP status code

This data is technically necessary to deliver the website, to ensure its stability and security, and to prevent misuse. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and functioning website). Log files are only kept for a limited period and are then deleted or anonymised, unless longer retention is needed to investigate a security incident.

A data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the host.

4. SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar. This means data you send to me cannot be read by third parties.

5. Cookies and consent management (Borlabs Cookie)

This website uses the consent tool Borlabs Cookie, which runs on this website’s own server (no data is sent to the manufacturer). On your first visit, you are asked whether you want to allow external media (Vimeo videos). Your choice is stored in the cookie “borlabs-cookie” in your browser, so that you are not asked again on every visit. It contains a random ID, your choice and the date. Storage period: 182 days (about 6 months).

The legal basis for storing this cookie is Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG (technically necessary) in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (proof of consent).

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the following button:

Change cookie settings

In addition, the multilingual plugin WPML sets a technically necessary cookie (“wp-wpml_current_language”) to remember your chosen language (German/English). Legal basis: Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This cookie is deleted at the end of your browser session or shortly afterwards.

6. Contact form

If you send me an enquiry via the contact form, I process the information you provide (name, email address, phone number, your message and any files you upload, such as scripts or storyboards) in order to handle your enquiry and reply to you. Name, email address, phone number and message are required: I need your phone number to clarify project details (e.g. timing, style, recording date) quickly by phone.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or a quote, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).

The data is sent to me by email. It is sent via the mail server of my host ALL-INKL.COM (see section 3) and delivered to my email inbox at Apple iCloud Mail (see section 7).

I delete your data once your enquiry has been fully dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply (e.g. 6 or 10 years under German commercial and tax law if a job is commissioned).

7. Contact by email or phone

If you contact me by email or phone, I process your details (name, contact details, content of your enquiry) to deal with your request. The legal basis and storage period are the same as in section 6.

I use two email services:

  • Email addresses @englischer-sprecher.de (e.g. info@englischer-sprecher.de) are hosted by my host ALL-INKL.COM in Germany (see section 3).
  • dattoma@me.com is hosted by Apple iCloud Mail. The provider is Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland. This may involve processing by Apple Inc., USA. Apple is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so an adequacy decision of the European Commission applies (Art. 45 GDPR).

8. Embedded videos from Vimeo

This website embeds videos from Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo.com, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10001, USA.

The videos are only loaded after you give your consent in the cookie banner. Only then is a connection made to Vimeo’s servers. Among other things, your IP address, information about your browser and the page you are viewing are sent to Vimeo, and Vimeo may store cookies or similar technologies on your device. If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo may link your visit to your account.

The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings (section 5).

Data may be transferred to the USA. Vimeo is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so an adequacy decision of the European Commission applies (Art. 45 GDPR).

9. Fonts

The fonts used on this website are stored locally on the server. No connection to Google or any other provider is made when the page loads.

10. Links to social networks

This website contains simple links to my profiles on LinkedIn and XING. These are not embedded plugins. No data is transferred until you click a link and visit the platform. The respective provider’s privacy policy then applies.

11. Your rights

You have the right at any time to:

  • access the data I hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • rectification of incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • withdraw any consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR)

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): Where I process data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

To exercise your rights, simply send an informal message to the contact details above.

12. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for me is:

Der Hamburgische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit
(Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information)
Ludwig-Erhard-Straße 22, 7th floor
20459 Hamburg, Germany
https://datenschutz-hamburg.de

13. Obligation to provide data, automated decisions

You are not obliged to provide me with personal data. Without your contact details, however, I cannot answer your enquiry. No automated decision-making, including profiling, takes place.

14. Updates

Last updated: November 2026. I will update this privacy policy if the services used or the legal situation change.
