2. General notes and mandatory information
Data protection
The owners of these pages are committed to the protection of your personal data. Your personal data are treated as strictly confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection provisions and this data privacy statement.
I would like to point out that data transfer in the internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) may be vulnerable to attacks. It is not possible to completely protect data from a breach by third parties.
Data controller
The data controller for the purposes of data processing on this website is:
Sabine Thompson

sabine@sabinethompson.de
Data controller means the natural person or entity who – solely or together with others – determines the purposes and means of processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses etc.). Due to the small size of my company I do not have to appoint a data protection officer.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing activities are only possible with your prior explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. All you have to do is send me a simple message by e-mail. The lawfulness of data processing before the withdrawal of your consent will remain unaffected by this.
Right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority
In case of a violation of data protection regulations the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. In my case, the relevant supervisory authority for data protection issues is the Bavarian Data Protection Officer.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data, which are being processed by automated means and on the basis of your consent or a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either transmitted to yourself or to a third party. Should you require the direct transmission of data to another party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.
SSL encryption
For security reasons and in order to protect the transmission of confidential data, such as inquiries which you send to us as owners of the website, this website is using SSL encryption. An encrypted connection is marked by “https://” (instead of “http://”) and a lock icon in your browser’s address bar.
When SSL encryption is enabled, data that you submit to me cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, erasure
Under the applicable legal provisions you have the right to obtain free-of-charge information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purposes of data processing and, if applicable, the right to have these data rectified, blocked or erased at any time. In this case or if you have additional questions concerning personal data, you may get in touch with me at the address shown in the “contact/legal” section of this website.
Objection to marketing/advertising e-mails
I herewith object to the use of my contact information published on this website for the purposes of sending me marketing/advertising and information material that I have not expressly requested. I reserve the right to legal measures if I am being sent unsolicited marketing/advertising information, for example through spam e-mails.
