This privacy policy is also available in German.

The protection of your personal data is of paramount importance to us. In general, it is possible to use our website without providing any personal data. If a data subject wishes to use special services offered via our website, however, it may be necessary to process personal data. Where the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

In this text, "we" or "us" always refers to Isabell Großmann.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to us. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

This privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use, among others, the following terms in this privacy policy:

An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information.

g) Controller
The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

k) Consent
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. Collection of general data and information

The website www.isabell-grossmann.de collects a range of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is rather needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operational security, fault diagnosis and defence against attacks). Log files are automatically deleted after 7 days.

4. Contact via the website

The website www.isabell-grossmann.de contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via the contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in processing your enquiry) and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR insofar as the enquiry is directed towards the conclusion of a contract. The transmitted data will be deleted after your enquiry has been fully processed, at the latest after 3 years.

5. Embedded YouTube videos

On the "Audio Samples" page, videos from the YouTube service are embedded, which is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

The videos are embedded using a two-click procedure: when the page is loaded, only a preview image of the video is initially displayed – no data is transmitted to YouTube at this point. A connection to the YouTube servers is only established when you click on the preview image, thereby actively giving your consent to the data transfer. When you click, your IP address and information about your browser and device are transmitted to Google, among other things.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent by clicking).

Data transfer to third countries: Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) of 10 July 2023 (Art. 45 GDPR). Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

7. Rights of the data subject

a) Right of confirmation

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may contact us at any time.

b) Right of access

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to access the following information:

• the purposes of the processing
• the categories of personal data concerned
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed
• where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
• the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing

• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may contact us at any time.

c) Right to rectification

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, taking into account the purposes of the processing. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact us at any time.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

• The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
• The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
• The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
• The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
• The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by us, he or she may contact us at any time. We will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with immediately.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

• The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
• The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
• The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
• The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by us, he or she may contact us at any time. We will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data portability

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means.

To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact us at any time.

g) Right to object

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

We shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact us directly.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights with regard to automated decision-making, he or she may contact us at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may contact us at any time.

8. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain a consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. If we are subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

9. Legitimate interests in the processing

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, the legitimate interest is the conduct of my activities as a mezzo-soprano and music teacher.

10. Duration of storage of personal data

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

11. Statutory or contractual requirements to provide personal data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions. It may also be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

12. Existence of automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
