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 Nikas Photography.

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website.

2. The Collection and Processing of Personal Data when Accessing our Website
When you access our Website, the server we use automatically records the data which is transmitted by your browser. Thereby the following data is recorded: date and time of the access, name of the accessed file as well as the transmitted data volume and the performance of the access, web browser, browser language and requesting domain. In addition, the IP address will be recorded. Additional personal data will only be recorded if their disclosure is made voluntarily (e.g. in the course of a registration or request).

2.1. Use of Cookies and Web Analysis for Advertising Purposes
This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer, to help analyse how users use the Website. Cookies help us to identify account holders and to optimise their Website experience. No personal data, such as name or address, is collected or stored as part of this process. Some of the cookies used by us will be deleted at the end of your browser session, i.e. when you close your browser (these are called session cookies). Other cookies will remain on your terminal device and will allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our Website (these are called persistent cookies).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this Website (including your IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. At our instigation, your IP address will be recorded by Google in shortened form only, which guarantees anonymisation and permits no conclusions to be made about your personal identity. If IP anonymity is activated on this Website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

On behalf of the provider, Google may use this information to evaluate your use of the Website, compiling reports on Website activity and providing the provider with other services relating to Website and Internet use. Moreover, Google may transfer this information to third parties insofar as this is legally required or if third parties process this information on behalf of Google.

You can set your browser to turn off cookies. For this purpose, download and install the Browser-Add-on zur Deaktivierung von Google Analytics. Please note, however, that in the non-acceptance of cookies the functionality of our Website may be limited. By using this Website you declare yourself in agreement with the processing of data gathered about you by Google, the data processing strategy described above, and the aforementioned purpose of this action.

2.2. Use of Social Plugins
Our Website may use so-called social plugins („plugins“) of different social networks. Via these plugins, information including personal data may possibly be sent to those social network providers and used by them. Nikas Photography itself does not collect any personal data via plugins or their use.

Nikas Photography has no control over what data is collected by an activated plugin and how the data is used by the social network provider. Presently it must be assumed that the collection and use includes at least the IP address and the device information. It is further possible that the social network providers try to store cookies on the respective computer.

Our Website may for example use plugins provided by Twitter, Google+, XING, LinkedIn and Flickr:

2.3. Data Processing by YouTube
We may use embedded YouTube videos. If the YouTube video player is clicked on, YouTube may possibly store cookies on your computer. Thereby it is communicated to the YouTube servers what websites that user has accessed. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube can associate this information with your personal user account. If you want to prevent such data transmission, you must log out before using the plugins. Additional information on how YouTube handles user data can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.“
