Datenschutzerklärung

LevelupSpindles, Neumarkt 10, 32105 Bad Salzuflen guarantees the confidential handling of all stored personal data.

With this privacy policy, we aim to inform you about how we ensure the protection of the data you provide to us. Personal data is collected, processed, and used by LevelupSpindles exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Our data protection practices comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new German Federal Data Protection Act ("BDSG-neu").

LevelupSpindles assures you that no personal data will be collected through this website without your consent. You alone decide to what extent you wish to disclose your data — for example, when contacting us.

Collection, Storage, and Use of Personal Data
Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more factors specific to that person’s physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).
This includes, for example, your name, phone number, title, or address that you provide when contacting us. Statistical or anonymized data collected during your visit to our website that cannot be directly associated with you is not included.

LevelupSpindles stores your personal data only when you explicitly provide it and consent to its specific use — for instance, when submitting a contact request or using our “Sell Property” form. Your data is also used to fulfill and process your requests.

LevelupSpindles guarantees that your personal data will not be sold or rented to third parties. However, we reserve the right to disclose information about you if we are legally obligated to do so or if the release is requested of us by lawfully acting authorities or law enforcement agencies.

Cookies
LevelupSpindles informs you that cookies may be placed on your device when using our service. This improves usability and personalization. Cookies are files that identify you as a specific user and can store your preferences or technical information. This eliminates the need to re-enter data on each visit.

You can disable cookies in your device settings. However, please note that parts of the website may not function correctly if cookies or similar mechanisms are blocked. Information obtained via cookies will only be linked to personal data if it is necessary for the requested service.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). It uses the “Universal Analytics” mode, which allows tracking across devices via a pseudonymous user ID.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). It uses the “Universal Analytics” mode, which allows tracking across devices via a pseudonymous user ID. Google Analytics uses “cookies” — text files stored on your device — to analyze your use of the website. Information generated by cookies is typically transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If IP anonymization is enabled, your IP address is shortened within EU member states or EEA countries. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to the USA and shortened there. This website uses Google Analytics with IP anonymization to ensure anonymous data collection (IP masking). Your IP address will not be merged with other Google data.

Google Web Fonts
This site uses Google Web Fonts for a consistent font display. When a page is loaded, your browser fetches the required web fonts to display text and fonts properly.

To do this, your browser must connect to Google’s servers, making your IP address visible to Google. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a consistent and visually appealing presentation of our online services and constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font from your computer will be used.

Data Retention
We store personal data as long as necessary to provide the service you requested or consented to, unless legal requirements (e.g., ongoing legal proceedings) stipulate otherwise.

Internet Security
LevelupSpindles uses standard security measures such as SSL encryption through your browser. You can recognize SSL-secured areas by the padlock symbol or by the "https://" prefix in the address bar. Double-clicking the padlock icon will give you information about the SSL certificate. This encryption secures your data during transmission — especially in contact forms. Although absolute protection cannot be guaranteed, we implement technical and organizational measures to secure your data from unauthorized access, destruction, alteration, or distribution.

Data Security
We employ extensive technical and organizational security measures to protect your data. These measures are regularly reviewed and updated according to technological advancements.

Your Rights as a Customer
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or transfer your personal data. You also have the right to object to processing or revoke any previously given consent at any time — without incurring costs other than basic transmission charges.
To exercise your rights or for inquiries, contact: LevelupSpindles, Neumarkt 10, 32105 Bad Salzuflen Email: service@levelupspindles.de
