Privacy

How we handle your data when you visit this website, write to us or have images from the shop sent to you.

1. Controller

Socialfuerst UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Eppendorfer Weg 237 20251 Hamburg Email: hello@socialfuerst.com Represented by Fynn Maass (Managing Director). Terms such as "processing" or "controller" are used as defined in Art. 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. The key points in brief

We do not use cookies for advertising or analytics, do not use audience measurement (no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel) and do not embed videos or maps from third-party providers. We only process personal data insofar as it is necessary to operate the website or you provide it to us yourself, e.g. your email address for the download link.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc. (San Francisco, USA). When you access the site, Netlify automatically processes technical data transmitted by your browser: IP address, date and time of access, requested address, browser type and operating system. This is necessary to deliver the website securely and reliably (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, legitimate interest). A data processing agreement is in place with Netlify. For transfers to the USA, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Log files are generally deleted after a short period.

4. Content from Sanity

Texts, images and videos on the website (e.g. Magazine, Gallery, Shop) are stored in the content management system Sanity, operated by Sanity AS (Oslo, Norway), and are loaded directly from its servers when accessed. In the process, your IP address is transmitted to Sanity, as this is technically necessary for delivery (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Norway is part of the European Economic Area. Where Sanity uses service providers outside the EEA, this is done on the basis of the Standard Contractual Clauses.

5. Fonts

All fonts are hosted on our own server. Loading the site does not establish any connection to Google Fonts or other font providers.

6. Browser storage

The website stores some information in your browser's storage (Local Storage, Session Storage) so that it works the way you expect: your settings (e.g. wallpaper), the contents of your cart, whether the showreel has already played, and a cache of the content so the site loads faster on your next visit. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us. Storing it is strictly necessary for the functions you request (Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG). You can delete this data at any time via your browser settings.

7. Contact form and email

If you write to us via the contact form or by email, we process your details (name, email address, message) to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where a potential project is concerned, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Messages from the form are forwarded to our inbox via our automation service n8n. We delete your details once the enquiry has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

8. Free images by email (Shop)

In the Shop you can add images to a cart and have a personal download link sent to you. For this we process your email address, the selected images and the time of your consent. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give when submitting and can withdraw at any time by emailing hello@socialfuerst.com. The request is processed via our automation service n8n, which generates the link and sends the email through our email provider. The link is valid for 7 days and for a maximum of 5 downloads. We delete your email address and the order details no later than 30 days after the link expires. We do not use your address for advertising and do not pass it on.

9. Instagram

The website links to our Instagram profile. This is a simple link, not an embedded plugin: only when you open it are you taken to Instagram (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.), where their privacy policy applies.

10. Recipients and processors

We only pass on your data if this is permitted by law, you have consented, or it is necessary for a contract. Service providers who process data on our behalf (hosting, content management, automation, email delivery) are contractually bound under Art. 28 GDPR.

11. Storage period

We delete data as soon as it is no longer needed for the respective purpose and no statutory retention obligations prevent this. Where such an obligation exists, we restrict processing until the period expires.

12. Data security

The website is transmitted encrypted via HTTPS. We use technical and organisational measures under Art. 32 GDPR to protect your data. Download links are personal, randomly generated and time-limited.

13. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)). Just write to us at hello@socialfuerst.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

14. Project content

We only publish photos and videos from our productions in which people are identifiable on this website and on social media with the prior consent of those concerned (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
