Server Log Files

When you visit our websites hippiatrika.com, pferdeheilkunde.de, and curricula.cc, the browser on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.

The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data to draw conclusions about your identity.

Additionally, we use cookies and analytics services when you visit our website. Detailed explanations can be found in sections 3 and 4 of this privacy policy.

Use of Our Contact Form

For orders of purchase examination contracts or registrations for training events, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. It is necessary to provide a valid email address so that we know who the inquiry is from and can respond to it. Additional information can be provided voluntarily.

Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR based on your voluntarily given consent. The personal data collected by us for using the contact form will be automatically deleted after your inquiry has been resolved.

2. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only share your personal data with third parties if:

  • You have given your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR,
  • The disclosure is necessary under Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest in not disclosing your data,
  • There is a legal obligation for disclosure under Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR, or
  • It is legally permissible and necessary under Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR for processing contractual relationships with you.

3. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not harm your device, nor do they contain viruses, trojans, or other malicious software.

Information stored in cookies relates to the specific device being used but does not allow us to directly identify you.

Purpose of Cookies:

  1. Improved User Experience: We use session cookies to recognize that you have already visited specific pages on our website. These cookies are deleted automatically after you leave our site.
  2. Enhanced Usability: Temporary cookies optimize user-friendliness by remembering settings or inputs during repeat visits (for a defined period).
  3. Statistical Analysis: Cookies help us analyze user behavior statistically to improve our offerings.

These cookies are deleted automatically after a defined period.

Data processed by cookies is necessary for protecting our legitimate interests or those of third parties under Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically; however, you can configure your browser settings to prevent cookie storage or notify you before cookies are stored. Disabling cookies entirely may limit some functionalities on our website.

4. Protection of Minors

Children and individuals under 18 years should not transmit personal data to us without parental or guardian consent.

5. Links to Other Websites

Our online offerings contain links to other websites over which we have no control regarding compliance with their privacy policies.

6. Plugins and Tools

Google Web Fonts

This website uses so-called Web Fonts from Google to ensure a uniform display of fonts. When a page is accessed, your browser loads the required Web Fonts into its cache to correctly display texts and fonts. However, instead of connecting to Google’s servers, your browser accesses servers from Worldsoft in Switzerland. As a result, Google does not gain knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address.

The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of providing a consistent and appealing presentation of our online offerings. If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

7. Rights of Data Subjects – Access, Rectification, Erasure, Portability, Withdrawal

You have the following rights:

  • Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR):You can request information about the personal data we process about you. This includes details about the purposes of processing, categories of personal data, recipients to whom your data has been disclosed or will be disclosed, planned retention periods, rights to rectification or erasure, restrictions on processing or objections, the origin of your data if not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making including profiling.
  • Right to Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR):You can request the immediate correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data stored by us.
  • Right to Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR):You can request the deletion of your personal data stored by us unless processing is necessary for exercising freedom of expression and information, compliance with legal obligations, reasons of public interest, or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims.
  • Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18 GDPR):You can request restriction of processing if you contest the accuracy of your data, the processing is unlawful but you oppose deletion, we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims, or you have objected to processing under Art. 21 GDPR.
  • Right to Data Portability (Art. 20 GDPR):You can receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or request its transfer to another controller.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR):You can withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future. This means we will no longer process data based on that consent going forward.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint (Art. 77 GDPR):You can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your usual place of residence or workplace or at our company headquarters.

8. Right to Object

If your personal data is processed based on legitimate interests under Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right under Art. 21 GDPR to object to this processing for reasons arising from your particular situation or if it concerns direct marketing purposes. In the latter case, you have a general right to object without needing to specify a particular situation.

To exercise your right to withdraw consent or object, simply send an email to lauk(@)hippiatrika.com. If personal data has already been stored, it will be deleted upon request by sending an email to lauk(@)hippiatrika.com.

9. Data Security

We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption during website visits in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser—typically 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognize encrypted pages by the lock symbol in your browser’s status bar.

We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. These measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

10. Updates and Changes to This Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is currently valid as of September 2018. Changes may be necessary due to further development of our website and offerings or changes in legal or regulatory requirements.
