Who we are/Scope

This privacy statement clarifies the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the responsible provider J. Gerich, Wiesenstr. 2, 79367 WEISWEIL, ruby@rubykingbooks.com, tel.: 0049 07646/1018 on this website (in Following “offer”).

The legal basis for data protection can be found in the German Privacy Act (BDSG) and the Tele-Media Act (TMG).

Access Data/server LogFiles

The provider (or its web space provider) collects data about each access to the offer (so-called server log files). Access data includes:

Name of the downloaded Web page, file, date and time of retrieval, transferred data quantity, message about successful retrieval, browser type and version, the operating system of the user, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data retrospectively if, on the basis of concrete evidence, the legitimate suspicion of illegal use exists.

Dealing with personal data

Personal data is information that enables a person to be identifiable, that is, information that can be traced back to a person. This includes the name, email address or phone number. But also data about preferences, hobbies, memberships or which websites were viewed by someone are personal data.

Personal data is only collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is permitted by law or if the user agrees to the data collection.

Contact

When contacting the provider (for example by contact form or e-mail), the information of the user is stored in order to process the request and in the event that follow-up questions arise.

Comments and contributions

When users leave comments on the blog or other posts, their IP addresses are stored. This is for the security of the provider if someone writes illegal content in comments and contributions (insults, forbidden political propaganda, etc.). In this case, the provider may be prosecuted for the comment or contribution and is therefore interested in the author’s identity.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
