Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. Various personal data are collected when you use this website. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the responsible entity
The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:
Annie Waye
c/o JCG Media
Freiherr-von-Twickel-Str. 11
48329 Havixbeck
GERMANY
Mail: info(at)anniewaye.de
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, or similar).
Retention period
Unless a specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (e.g., statutory retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these grounds no longer apply.
General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR (where special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed). If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) of the TTDSG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR where necessary to comply with a legal obligation. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information regarding the specific legal bases applicable in each case is provided in the following sections of this privacy policy. Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries: We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, having the right to take legal action against this. Consequently, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification sent to us by email is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Please refer to this privacy policy for the respective legal basis upon which processing is based. If you object, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR). Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator—this page uses SSL or TLS encryption.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Deletion, and Rectification
Subject to applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as—where applicable—the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice regarding this matter or for any further questions concerning personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
Sie You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of this verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data—with the exception of storage—may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Objection to promotional emails
The use of contact details published in compliance with mandatory legal notice requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising or informational materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, such as via spam emails.
Data collection on this website
Cookies and access statistics
Our websites use so-called „cookies.“ Cookies are small text files that do not harm your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser automatically deletes them. In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you access our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to display advertisements.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), to provide specific functions you have requested (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies has been requested, the relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); this consent may be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. If cookies from third-party companies or cookies for analytical purposes are used, we will inform you separately within this privacy policy and, where applicable, obtain your consent. We use „session cookies“ from VG Wort (Munich) to measure access to texts in order to determine the probability of copying. Session cookies are small units of information that a provider stores in the visitor’s computer memory. A randomly generated, unique identification number—a so-called session ID—is stored in a session cookie. A cookie also contains information about its origin and its retention period. Session cookies cannot store any other data. These measurements are carried out by Kantar Germany GmbH using the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM).
They help determine the probability of individual texts being copied, which is used to calculate statutory remuneration claims for authors and publishers. We do not collect personal data via cookies. Many of our pages contain JavaScript calls that we use to report access data to the collecting society VG Wort. This enables
our authors to participate in VG Wort distributions, which ensure statutory remuneration for the use of copyright-protected works pursuant to Section 53 of the German Copyright Act (UrhG). You can also use our services without cookies. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, you can disable the storage of cookies or configure your browser to notify you whenever cookies are sent.
Web-based services
Our website and mobile web services use the „Scalable Centralized Measurement Method“ (SZM) provided by Kantar Germany GmbH to determine statistical metrics regarding the likelihood of texts being copied.
Anonymous measurement data is collected during this process. To recognize computer systems, the traffic measurement system uses either a session cookie or a signature generated from various pieces of information automatically transmitted by your browser. IP addresses are processed only in anonymized form.
The method was developed with data protection in mind. Its sole purpose is to determine the likelihood of individual texts being copied.
Individual users are never identified. Your identity remains protected at all times. You will not receive any advertising through this system.
Server log files
DeThe provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:
Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website—collecting server log files is necessary for this purpose.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information provided in the inquiry form—including the contact details you entered—will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and handling any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided such consent has been requested. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly retention periods—remain unaffected.
Online Shop
Ordering Process
All data entered by customers during the order processing stage is stored. This includes:
- Surname, first name
- Address
- Payment details
- E-mail address
Data that is strictly necessary for delivery or order processing is passed on to third-party service providers. Once the retention of your data is no longer required or legally mandated, it will be deleted.
Newsletter
You can subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website by using our sign-up form. We employ the „double opt-in“ procedure for this purpose. This involves sending a confirmation email to the address you provided, asking you to confirm your subscription. Your registration only becomes effective once you click the activation link contained in that confirmation email. We use the data you provide to us exclusively for sending the newsletter, which may contain information or offers.
We use „The Newsletter“ to distribute our newsletter; consequently, your data is processed via „The Newsletter“ and/or WordPress. The parties involved are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than sending the newsletter. Sharing or selling your data is not permitted.
You may revoke your consent to the storage and use of your data for newsletter distribution at any time—for example, by using the unsubscribe link included in the newsletter.
Affiliate links/Advertising links
The links marked with an asterisk (*) are so-called affiliate links. If you click on such an affiliate link and make a purchase through it, I receive a commission from the respective online shop or provider. The price remains the same for you.
Affiliate programs on this website
We participate in affiliate partner programs. In affiliate partner programs, advertisements from a company (advertiser) are placed on the websites of other companies within the affiliate partner network (publishers). If you click on one of these affiliate advertisements, you will be redirected to the advertised offer. If you subsequently complete a specific transaction (conversion), the publisher receives a commission for doing so. To calculate this commission, the affiliate network operator must be able to track which advertisement led you to the offer and resulted in the predefined transaction. Cookies or similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) are used for this purpose.
Data storage and analysis are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the accurate calculation of affiliate commissions. Where consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
We participate in the following affiliate programs:
Amazon Associates Program
We use the Amazon Associates Program on our website. This service is provided by Amazon Europe Core S.à r.l., 5 Rue Plaetis, L-2338 Luxembourg. The Amazon Associates Program allows advertisements from Amazon.de to be displayed on our website. If you click on one of these advertisements, you will be redirected to the corresponding offer on the Amazon website. If you subsequently decide to purchase the advertised product, we receive a „referral commission“ from Amazon.
Amazon uses cookies to enable this service. These cookies allow Amazon to track that you were redirected from our website to the Amazon website.
Amazon provides further information on data protection at:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201909010
The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the processing and payment of our commission claims by Amazon.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option to prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your internet browser settings. Further information on this can be found above under the „Cookies“ section.
Other affiliate partner programs
Additional affiliate programs are used; however, these do not set cookies on this website, nor is any IP address data transmitted to these providers via this site. Clicking on affiliate or advertising links will take you to the respective providers‘ websites, where their own terms and conditions and data processing policies apply.
Inquiry via email or telephone
If you contact us via email or telephone, your inquiry—including any personal data arising from it (such as your name and the details of the request)—will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your matter. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided such consent has been obtained.
The data you submit to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
Comment function on this website
For the comment function on this site, in addition to your comment, we store details regarding the time the comment was created, your email address, and—unless you post anonymously—the username you have chosen.
Storage of IP address
Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. Since we do not review comments on this website prior to publication, we require this data to take action against the author in the event of legal violations, such as insults or propaganda.
Subscribing to comments
As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after logging in. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time via a link in the notification emails. In such cases, the data entered when subscribing to comments will be deleted; however, if you have provided this data to us for other purposes or via other channels (e.g., newsletter subscription), that data will be retained.
Storage period for comments
Comments and associated data (e.g., IP address) are stored and remain on this website until the content being commented on is completely deleted or the comments must be removed for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).
Legal basis
Comments are stored based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of data processing operations carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.

We maintain an online presence on the Instagram platform to promote our products and services and to communicate with interested parties or customers.
We share responsibility for this social media platform with Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Instagram’s Data Protection Officer can be contacted via a contact form:
We have regulated this joint responsibility in an agreement outlining the respective obligations under the GDPR. This agreement, which sets out our mutual obligations, is available at the following link:
The legal basis for the resulting processing of personal data described below is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and communication regarding our products and services, as well as their sale and promotion.
The legal basis may also be the user’s consent given to the platform operator pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Users may revoke this consent at any time for the future by notifying the platform operator, in accordance with Art. 7(3) GDPR.
When our online presence on the Instagram platform is accessed, Facebook Ireland Ltd.—as the platform operator within the EU—processes user data (e.g., personal information, IP address, etc.).
This user data is used to provide statistical information regarding the use of our online presence on Instagram. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and advertising purposes, as well as to create user profiles. Based on these profiles, Facebook Ireland Ltd. is able, for example, to display interest-based advertisements to users both within and outside of Instagram. If the user is logged into their Instagram account at the time of access, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can… …and also link the data to the respective user account.
If a user contacts us via Instagram, the personal data entered by the user on that occasion will be used to process the inquiry. We will delete the user’s data once the inquiry has been fully resolved, provided there are no statutory retention obligations—such as those arising from the subsequent processing of a contract—preventing us from doing so.
Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also set cookies to process the data.
If the user does not consent to this processing, they can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting their browser settings accordingly. Cookies that have already been stored can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the specific browser used. Flash cookies cannot be blocked via browser settings; instead, this requires adjusting the Flash Player settings. If the user prevents or restricts the installation of cookies, this may result in some Facebook functions not being fully available.
Further details regarding processing activities, how to prevent them, and the deletion of data processed by Instagram can be found in Instagram’s Data Policy:
It is possible that processing by Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also involve Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.
Facebook Inc. has committed to the „EU-US Privacy Shield,“ thereby declaring its compliance with EU data protection standards when processing data in the USA.

These buttons allow you to share a post or page on Tumblr or to follow the provider on Tumblr.

Verlinkung Social-Media über Grafik oder Textlink
We also promote our presence on the social networks listed below on our website. This is done using a linked graphic for the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents an automatic connection to the social network’s server—which would otherwise occur simply by visiting a page featuring such a promotion in order to display the network’s graphic—from being established. The user is only redirected to the social network’s service after clicking on the corresponding graphic.
Once the user has been redirected, the respective network collects information about them. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way may be processed in the USA.
This initially includes data such as the IP address, date, time, and the page visited. If the user is logged into their account on the respective network at the time, the network operator may be able to associate the information collected during that specific visit with the user’s personal account. If the user interacts via the network’s „Share“ button, this information may be stored in the user’s personal account and potentially published. To prevent the collected information from being directly associated with their account, the user must log out before clicking the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.
Amazon Associates Program
We use the Amazon Associates Program on our website. This service is provided by Amazon Europe Core S.à r.l., 5 Rue Plaetis, L-2338 Luxembourg. The Amazon Associates Program allows advertisements from Amazon.de to be displayed on our website. If you click on one of these advertisements, you will be redirected to the corresponding offer on the Amazon website. If you subsequently decide to purchase the advertised product, we receive a „referral commission“ from Amazon.
Amazon uses cookies to enable this service. These cookies allow Amazon to track that you were redirected from our website to the Amazon website.
Amazon provides further information on data protection at:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201909010
The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the processing and payment of our commission claims by Amazon.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option to prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your internet browser settings. Further information on this can be found above under the „Cookies“ section.

WordPress Statistics
This website uses „WordPress Statistics“ to statistically analyze visitor traffic. The provider is Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Business Centre, No. 1 Lower Mayor Street, International Financial Services Centre, Dublin 1, Ireland; its parent company is based in the USA. WordPress Statistics employs technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). For analysis purposes, WordPress Statistics collects data such as log files (referrer, IP address, browser, etc.), the origin of website visitors (country, city), and actions taken on the site (e.g., clicks, views, downloads). Information regarding the use of this website collected in this manner is stored on servers in the USA. Your IP address is anonymized after processing and prior to storage.
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its online services and its advertising. Where consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG (Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act), insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

Google Analytics
This website uses the „Google Analytics“ service, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze how users interact with the site. The service uses „cookies“—text files stored on your device. The information collected by these cookies
is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP anonymization is active on this website. Users‘ IP addresses are truncated within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This truncation removes the personal link to your IP address. Under the data processing agreement concluded between the website operators and Google Inc., Google uses the collected information to compile reports on website usage and activity and to provide services related to internet usage. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please note that
you may not be able to access all functions of this website without restriction
if your browser does not allow cookies.
Furthermore, you can use a browser plugin to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to and used by Google Inc. The following link leads to the relevant plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Alternatively, clicking this link prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about you on this website. Clicking the link above downloads an „opt-out cookie.“ Therefore, your browser must be configured to allow the storage of cookies for this to work. If you regularly delete your cookies, you will need to click the link again each time you visit this website.
7. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or such data is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. The processing of data entered into the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time—for example, via the „unsubscribe“ link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter is stored by us (or by the newsletter service provider) until you unsubscribe; once you unsubscribe or the purpose for processing ceases to exist, the data is deleted from the newsletter distribution list. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion, based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored on a blacklist by us (or the newsletter service provider) if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. Data on the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in complying with legal requirements regarding the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). There is no time limit on storage in the blacklist. You may object to the storage, provided your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
