Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Stranger Cats. The use of the Internet pages of Stranger Cats is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Stranger Cats. By means of this privacy policy, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

Stranger Cats has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g., by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of Stranger Cats is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

We use, inter alia, the following terms in this data protection declaration:

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of Stranger Cats use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Stranger Cats can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. As mentioned earlier, cookies allow us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data every time he or she visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is a cookie for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

Stranger Cats’s website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The following data can be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used to avert threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Stranger Cats does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Stranger Cats both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Contact option via the website

Stranger Cats’s website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

6. Comment function on the blog on the website

Stranger Cats offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on blog entries located on the website of the controller. A blog is a regularly updated, publicly accessible portal on a website, typically consisting of posts displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. Users can usually leave comments on blog posts.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information on the time of entry of the comment and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject are stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject is logged. This storage of the IP address is done for security reasons and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of these personal data is, therefore, in the interest of the controller, so that he can exculpate himself in case of an infringement. There is no transfer of this collected personal data to third parties unless such transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of the controller.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

8. Rights of the data subject
