§1 Scope of application

This Data Protection Policy applies to the processing of your personal data within the scope of your visit and your use of the Internet offer of “COHG” (as the person responsible; cf. § 10) under the domain www.loft-berlin.com as well as the various sub-domains and individual pages(hereinafter collectively referred to as “website”).

§2 Definitions

The “recipient” is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation, in accordance with EU or national law are not considered as recipients. The processing of such data by those authorities shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation, in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A person is considered to be identifiable, if it can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

The “responsible person” is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by EU law or by the law of the Member States, such EU or national law may determine, or provide for the criteria for determining, who is to be considered as responsible person.

“Processing” is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or modification, reading out, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

§3 Guarantee of data security

We take technical and operational security precautions on our website to protect the personal data stored with us from access by third parties, loss or misuse and to enable secure data transfer. We must point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, unwanted access to data by third parties may occur. It is therefore also in your area of responsibility and interest to protect your data against misuse by encrypting or in any other way. Without appropriate protective measures, in particular data transmitted in without encryption, even if transmitted by e-mail, can be read by third parties.

§4 Data protection of minors

The protection of minors on the Internet is a matter of course and particularly desirable for the “COHG”. For this reason, “COHG” advises all parents and guardians to train minors to handle personal data on the Internet responsibly. Minors, especially children, should not transmit any personal data to “COHG” or via the Internet without the consent of their parents or guardians.
