1. Scope of processing personal data
We collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and as permitted by law, or if you consent to the collection and use.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. In order to safeguard our legitimate interests, data processing may be carried out to ensure the functionality of our website within the framework of balancing interests. Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for this.
3. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
4. Data collection and use of personal data on the website
4.1 Log files
When you visit our website, our web server temporarily records the following data in so-called server log files for system security purposes:
– the domain name or IP address of the requesting computer (client)
– the time and date of access
– the URL or resource accessed
– the HTTP status code
– the homepage from which you visit us
– the names of requested files,
– the amount of data transferred
– the browser type and browser version
– the operating system used (including for mobile devices such as smartphones)
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
The data is anonymized as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case after seven days at the latest. The log files are then automatically anonymized. In the event of anonymization, the respective IP address is shortened so that it is no longer possible to assign it to the calling client.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
4.2 Email contact
You can contact us using the email address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the email will be stored. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The legal basis for the processing of data in the event of the user's consent is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent to us by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
The user has the option of revoking their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time.
The user has the option of revoking their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
Consent can be revoked at any time by sending us a written notification, e.g. by sending an email to hello@sketchlab.studio. In this case, all personal data stored in the course of establishing contact will be deleted. Communication can then no longer be continued.

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights:
You have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. In particular, you can obtain information about the purposes of processing, the category of personal data being processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about its details;

6. SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission between your web browser and our web server, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS. This method initiates encryption when a connection is established between the web server and the web browser, enabling the encrypted transfer of data entered during a website session between the website user's internet browser and the website operator's web server. For the contact forms used on this website, we use encryption via StartTLS / SMTPS, which enables encrypted transmission of inquiries via the contact form.
7. Changes to our privacy policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new content, services, and website offerings. The new privacy policy, which can be accessed at this URL, will then apply to your next visit.
8. Other questions about data protection
