When you visit our website, you can do so without providing any personal information.

3. Cookies
The website of The Storytelling Company GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via a web browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific web browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
You may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the web browser used, and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of General Data and Information
The website of The Storytelling Company GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server’s log files.
Collected may be:
- the browser types and versions used,
- the operating system used by the accessing system,
- the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
- the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
- the date and time of access to the website,
- an Internet protocol address (IP address),
- the internet service provider of the accessing system,
- and other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
This information is needed to:
- deliver the content of our website correctly,
- optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement,
- ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology,
- and provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.
Therefore, The Storytelling Company GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Contact Options via the Website
The website of The Storytelling Company GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
6. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
7. Rights of the Data Subject
Every data subject has the right to:
- confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed,
- access to the stored personal data and a copy of this information,
- rectification of inaccurate personal data,
- erasure (“right to be forgotten”) of personal data,
- restriction of processing,
- data portability,
- object to processing of personal data,
- withdraw consent to processing at any time.
8. Legal Basis of the Process
Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. If we are subject to a legal obligation, processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and this is not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject, Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR is the basis.
9. Duration of storage
The criteria for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.
10. Provision of Personal Data as Statutory or Contractual Requirement
The provision of personal data may be partly required by law or result from contractual provisions. For example, when concluding a contract, it may be necessary for the data subject to provide us with personal data, which we must subsequently process. A refusal to provide the personal data may mean that the contract cannot be concluded.
11. Contact
You can contact us at any time using the contact details provided on our site. We would like to inform you that in this case we will store your transmitted personal data for the purpose of processing your request and, if necessary, send it to you. This processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in new contractual relationships, as well as on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR within the framework of the pre-contractual measures. As soon as the purpose of the processing ceases, we check the deletion of the data in this context, taking into account legal retention periods.

Cookies
Cookies are small files that can be placed on your computer, tablet or telephone (or other device) when you visit web pages, such as The Storytelling Company website (https://www.storytellingcompany.com/). A cookie collects information from and about visitors. The cookies we use are necessary for the proper functioning of our website (functional cookies) and to provide us with information about the use of our website (analytical cookies).

Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. As a software vendor, The Storytelling Company will do anything in its power to make sure that The Storytelling Suite (TSS) is being kept in perfect condition, all day, every day. This is being done by executing extensive quality assurance on the products which are in development, doing random tests and checks on production, actively monitoring the cloud and local software resources, and keeping operating systems and used software libraries up to date. The Storytelling Suite Content Management System is hosted at Amazon Web Services and might use related AWS hosting products. This will ensure that the CMS has a relatively high (above industry average) uptime. Even though AWS has a solid reputation for high availability of hosting services, the uptime and availability of AWS is outside of The Storytelling Company’s control.
