Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is a courtesy translation. In case of discrepancies, the German version is legally binding.

1. Data Controller

The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other national data protection laws is:

Eleknik - Owner Martin Pfiffer
Ahornring 15
16761 Hennigsdorf
Germany
Email: info@eleknik.de
Phone: 03302 2090123

2. No active data collection

On this website no personal data is actively collected or processed. Specifically this means:

No contact, registration or order forms.
We use no analytics or marketing cookies (e.g. Google Analytics, Matomo, Facebook pixel).
There is no newsletter service and no registration area.
No data is transferred to third parties.
No social media plugins (like buttons etc.) are embedded.
No external fonts (e.g. Google Fonts) are loaded - all fonts are hosted on our own server.

Technically necessary storage

For convenient use, two technically necessary elements are stored in your browser, which do not leave your device:

Cookie banner choice (localStorage): stores whether you have already seen the cookie notice.
Language selection (cookie eleknik_lang, 1 year): remembers the language choice (DE/EN) you have actively made. This cookie is only set when you use the language switcher. It contains only the value "de" or "en" - no personal data.

Both are considered technically necessary (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TTDSG) and do not require consent.

3. Server-Logfiles

Our web host automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits. These may include:

Date and time of access
IP address (usually in shortened / anonymized form)
Browser type and version
Operating system
Referrer URL (previously visited page)

This data is processed exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the website and to defend against attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

4. External links (Amazon)

This website contains links to external third-party websites, particularly to amazon.de. We have no control over data processing by these external providers. As soon as you click an Amazon link, you leave our website. Only Amazon's privacy terms apply there:

Amazon Privacy Notice →

5. Customer reviews from Amazon.de

On our homepage we display a selection of verified customer reviews of our DSL cable, originally published on amazon.de. The following information is reproduced:

The review text (unchanged or shortened; omissions are marked with "[...]"),
the star rating, the date and the purchased product variant,
the "Verified Purchase" label as awarded by Amazon,
a link to the original review on the respective Amazon product page.

Handling of names / pseudonyms

The reviewer name publicly shown on Amazon (real name or pseudonym) constitutes personal data within the meaning of Art. 4 (1) GDPR, even though it is publicly visible. We do not reproduce this name, but display reviewers exclusively as anonymised initials (e.g. "S. G." instead of a full name or Amazon handle). A direct identification of a person by us is therefore no longer possible.

Legal bases and purpose

The purpose of this integration is to inform our website visitors about practical experiences with our product. Legal bases are:

Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in transparent product information) - given the consistent anonymisation to initials, the interests of the data subjects do not prevail,
§ 51 UrhG (German quotation right): reproduction to the extent required, with citation and link to the original source,
§ 5b (3) UWG (German Unfair Competition Act): We transparently indicate, alongside the reviews, that authenticity is verified by Amazon and that our selection does not represent the full range of reviews.

No transfer to third parties, no profiling

The reviews displayed are not transferred to third parties and are not used for automated decisions or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. When you click the "Original on Amazon.de" link you leave our website; Amazon's privacy terms apply from that point on (see section 4).

Objection / removal of a review

If you are the author of one of the reproduced reviews and would like it removed from our website, an informal notice to info@eleknik.de stating the date and the first line of your review is sufficient. We will then remove the quotation without delay.

6. Rights of data subjects

Under the GDPR you have the following rights regarding personal data concerning you:

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

To exercise your rights, an informal email to info@eleknik.de is sufficient.

7. Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

Regardless of the above, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is:

The State Commissioner for Data Protection and the Right of Access to Information for Brandenburg
www.lda.brandenburg.de
