Privacy Policy 
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data
protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Celtic
Leathercraft / Michael Thummerer. The use of the Internet pages of the Celtic
Leathercraft / Michael Thummerer is possible without any indication of personal
data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via
our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the
processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for
such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.


The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address,
or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific
data protection regulations applicable to the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael
Thummerer. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would
like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the
personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are
informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which
they are entitled.


As the controller, the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael Thummerer has
implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most
complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However,
Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so
absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject
is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by
telephone.

concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation,
health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or
movements.


·       
f)     Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that
the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject
without the use of additional information, provided that such additional
information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational
measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified
or identifiable natural person.


·       
g)   
Controller or controller responsible for the processing


Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or

authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules
according to the purposes of the processing.


·       
j)      Third party

other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the
direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process
personal data.

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael Thummerer use
cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an
Internet browser.


Many Internet sites 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 character string through which Internet pages and servers can be
assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This
allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual
browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other
cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the
unique cookie ID.


Through the use of cookies, the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael Thummerer can
provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would
not be possible without the cookie setting.


By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be
optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to
recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it
easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies,
e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed,
because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the
user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an
online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed
in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.


The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through
our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used,
and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set
cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software
programs. This is possible in all popular 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 Celtic Leathercraft / Michael Thummerer 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 log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2)
the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which
an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the
sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an
Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of
the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may
be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.


When using these general data and information, the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael
Thummerer does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this
information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2)
optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure
the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website
technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information
necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Celtic
Leathercraft / Michael Thummerer analyzes anonymously collected data and
information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and
data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection
for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files
are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.


5. Registration on our website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the
controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are
transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used
for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are
collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for
his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors
(e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose
which is attributable to the controller.


By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by
the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time
of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place
against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our
services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed
offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller.
This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory
obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal
prosecution.


The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of
personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject
contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the
nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the
personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them
completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.


The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to
each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject.
In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the
request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory
storage obligations. The entirety of the controller's employees are available
to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.


6. Contact possibility via the website

The website of the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael Thummerer contains
information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well
as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the
so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the
controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by
the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a
voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the
purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of
this personal data to third parties.


7. 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 to which the controller is subject to.


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.


8. Rights of the data subject

·       
a) Right of confirmation

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator
to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal

b) Right of access

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator
to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data
stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European

meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance
and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.


Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as
to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an
international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have
the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the
transfer.


If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or
she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

·       
d) Right to
erasure (Right to be forgotten)


Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator
to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or

personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies,
as long as the processing is not necessary:


o   The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for
which they were collected or otherwise processed.


o   The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based
according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article
9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.


o   The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the

o   The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in
Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.


o   The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of
information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.


If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to
request the erasure of personal data stored by the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael
Thummerer, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
An employee of Michael Thummerer shall promptly ensure that the erasure request
is complied with immediately.


Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant
to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of
available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable
steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the
personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers
of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as
processing is not required. An employee of the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael

period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.


o   The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the
personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead.


o   The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the
processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment,
exercise or defence of legal claims.


o   The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of
the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the
controller override those of the data subject.


If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes
to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the
Michael Thummerer, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the
controller. The employee of the Michael Thummerer will arrange the restriction
of the processing.


·       
f) Right to data portability

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator,
to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a
controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or
she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without
hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as

to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point
(e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on
these provisions.


The Michael Thummerer shall no longer process the personal data in the
event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds
for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the
data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.


If the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael Thummerer processes personal data for
direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at

h) Automated
individual decision-making, including profiling


Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator
not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including
profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly

subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member
State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable
measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate
interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.


If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of,
a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based
on the data subject's explicit consent, the Celtic Leathercraft / Michael
Thummerer shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's
rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain
human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point

9. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)


On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google
Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics
service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about
the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter
alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called
referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a
sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a
website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet
advertising.


The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited,
Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.


For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the
application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP
address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google
and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European
Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic
Area.


The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on
our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to
evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the
activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of
our Internet site for us.


Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of
the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the
setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which
is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was
integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the
data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics
component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of
commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the
enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address
of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin
of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.


The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time,
the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our
website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such
personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data
subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These
personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may
pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third
parties.


The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies
through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the
web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an
adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics
from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject.
In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any
time via a web browser or other software programs.


In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection
of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of
this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance
to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a
browser add-on under the link tools.google.com and
install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript,
that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be
transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is
considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the
data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data
subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the
browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is
attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to
execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.


Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google
may be retrieved under www.google.com and
under www.google.com Google Analytics is
further explained under the following Link www.google.com


10. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations
for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the
processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to
which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing
operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other
service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies
to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out
pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our
products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which
processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax
obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases,
the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests
of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for
example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health
insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a
doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on
Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article
6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are
not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is
necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company
or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the
interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require
protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly
permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European
legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the
data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).


11. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller
or by a third party


Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR
our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being
of all our employees and the shareholders.


12. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is
the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the
corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary
for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.


13. Provision of personal data as statutory or
contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract;
Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible
consequences of failure to provide such data


We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law
(e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g.
information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to
conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which
must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged
to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or
her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the
contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is
provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The
employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal
data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the
contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data.


14. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or
profiling.
