Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected, used and protected when you visit ozdreamwalk.com. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and process it exclusively in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). The legally binding version of our data protection information is the German Datenschutzerklärung; this English text is provided for convenience.

2. Hosting and Server Log Files

Our website is hosted by a service provider within the EU/EEA on the basis of a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). With each access, the server automatically collects and stores log data that your browser transmits: IP address, date and time of the request, requested page, referrer URL, browser type and operating system. This data is processed to ensure a secure and stable operation of the website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Log data is deleted after a short period unless required for security investigations.

3. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Technically necessary cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Cookies that are not strictly necessary — in particular for analytics — are only set with your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

4. Contact

If you contact us by email or via our contact form, the data you provide will be processed to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). The data is deleted once your enquiry has been fully handled and no statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Web Analytics (Google Analytics / Google Site Kit)

We use Google Analytics, a service of Google Ireland Limited, to analyse the use of our website. This processing only takes place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Google may transfer data to servers in the USA; such transfers are safeguarded by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and/or standard contractual clauses. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

6. Security and Performance

We use a security plugin (Wordfence) to protect the website against attacks and a caching solution (LiteSpeed) to improve performance. These tools may process IP addresses on the basis of our legitimate interest in a secure and performant website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

7. Fonts

Where web fonts are used, we aim to host them locally so that no connection to third-party servers is established when the fonts are loaded. Should any font be loaded externally, this is done on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and, where required, your consent.

8. Your Rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing (Art. 21). Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details in section 1.

9. Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement (Art. 77 GDPR).

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our website or to legal requirements. The current version published on this page applies.
