This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (for example, when communicating by e-mail) can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

The use of contact data published in the context of the imprint obligation by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam mail.

Krista Kärki
John-Schehr-Str 12, 10407, BERLIM
Contact: krista.karki(at)outlook.com

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Integration of services and content of third parties

It may happen that content from third parties, such as videos from Youtube, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online offer. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") perceive the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers only use the IP address for the delivery of the contents. However, we have no influence on this if the third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. If this is known to us, we inform the users about it.


SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL / TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries, which you send to us (site operator).

You can recognize an encrypted connection by changing the address line of the browser from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a GDPR).
