Data Protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Studio Nina Pettinato
Schlossstrasse 1
86732 Oettingen, Germany
Email: contact@nina-pettinato.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
Retention Period
Unless a more specific retention period has been stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.
Legal Bases for Data Processing
Where you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Where data processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, it is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Otherwise, processing may be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (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 these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
SSL/TLS Encryption
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

You may contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, in particular in the following cases:
• If you dispute the accuracy of your data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
Objection to Advertising Emails
The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited. The operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.

Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is collected on a voluntary basis only. We use the following service provider to handle newsletter distribution.
Mailchimp
This website uses Mailchimp for sending newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. When you enter data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address), it is stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA. Using Mailchimp, we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by Mailchimp, a file contained in the email (a web beacon) connects to Mailchimp's servers. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. This information is used solely for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. If you do not wish to be analysed by Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding unsubscribe link in every newsletter message. Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time; the lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and additionally on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details available at:
https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/
After unsubscribing from the newsletter, your email address may be stored in a blocklist to prevent future mailings (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). For further information, please refer to Mailchimp's privacy policy:
