3. General Information and Mandatory Information
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 the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
When you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
We wish to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. in email communication) can be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to protect data completely from third-party access.
Notice of responsible party
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
The LUXURY Art of Celebrating
Event & Wedding Planning
Stefanie Lahm-Druzic
Sulzbacher Straße 1c
65812 Bad Soden am Taunus
Telephone: +49 176 2170 1037
E-Mail: info@luxury-sl.com
The controller is the natural or legal person that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses or similar).
Storage duration
Unless a more specific retention period is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer exists. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw consent for data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (e.g., statutory retention periods for tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these grounds cease to apply.
General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we will process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we will process your data if it is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are informed in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Notice regarding data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not safe in terms of data protection, among others. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore not possible to exclude that US authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing that has occurred up to the point of withdrawal shall remain unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data; this includes profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which processing is based in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising purposes, including profiling in so far as it is related to direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for direct advertising purposes (objection according to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive your data, which we process automatically based on your consent or as part of a contract, either on your own behalf or from a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Information, correction, and deletion
Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us regarding this at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we will generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may, instead of erasure, request the restriction of data processing.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of 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 under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, that data may only be processed – apart from storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL- or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this page uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, any data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact details published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example via spam emails.
4. Data Collection on this Website
Our websites use so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored on your terminal device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies can be used for analysing user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set up your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in our privacy policy.
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Server request time
- IP address
A merge of this data with other data sources will not be performed.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – server log files must be collected for this purpose.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided your request relates to the fulfilment 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 the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
Enquiry by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your request, including any personal data arising therefrom (name, query), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided your request relates to the fulfilment 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 the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send to us via contact requests 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 request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, particularly statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
5. Social Media
Social media elements with Shariff
This website uses elements of social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
You can usually recognise the social media elements by their respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these elements in conjunction with the so-called „Shariff“ solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated into this website from transferring your personal data to the respective provider as soon as you visit the page.
A direct connection to the provider's server is only established when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the associated button (consent). As soon as you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook), the respective provider can assign the visit to this website to your user account.
Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. You can revoke this consent at any time with future effect.
The service's use is to obtain legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
Elements of the social network Facebook are integrated into this website. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
An overview of the Facebook social media elements can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE.
If the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your end device and the Facebook server. This allows Facebook to receive the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook „Like button“ while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to assign the visit to this website to your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or its use by Facebook. You can find further information on this in Facebook's privacy policy at: https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.
Where consent has been obtained, the aforementioned service will be used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Where no consent has been obtained, the service will be used on the basis of our legitimate interest in maximum visibility on social media.
To the extent that personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). Joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its transfer to Facebook. The subsequent processing by Facebook after the transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent upon us jointly have been recorded in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for implementing the tool on our website in a data protection-compliant manner.

You can assert your rights as a data subject (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert your rights as a data subject with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.
Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. More details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381 and https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
This website incorporates functions of the Instagram service. These functions are provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your end device and the Instagram server. Instagram thereby receives information about your visit to this website.
When you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of this website to your Instagram profile by clicking on the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to this website with your user account. Please note that as the provider of the pages, we do not receive any knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram.
Where consent has been obtained, the aforementioned service will be used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Where no consent has been obtained, the service will be used on the basis of our legitimate interest in maximum visibility on social media.
To the extent that personal data is collected on our website and passed on to Facebook or Instagram with the help of the tool described here, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its transfer to Facebook or Instagram. The processing by Facebook or Instagram that takes place after the transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent upon us jointly have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The text of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook or Instagram tool, and for its data protection-compliant implementation on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of the Facebook or Instagram products. You can make data subject rights requests (e.g. requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook or Instagram directly with Facebook.

On this website, we use elements of the social network Pinterest, which is operated by Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.
When you visit a page containing such an element, your browser establishes a direct connection with Pinterest's servers. This social media element transmits log data to Pinterest's servers in the USA. This log data may include your IP address, the address of the websites visited that also contain Pinterest features, browser type and settings, date and time of the request, your usage of Pinterest, and cookies.

6. Plugins and Tools
This website embeds videos from the website YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily preclude the sharing of data with YouTube partners. In this way, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network – regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) after a video has started playing. In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts.
If applicable, further data processing operations, over which we have no influence, may be triggered after a YouTube video is started.
The use of YouTube is for the purpose of presenting our online services in an engaging manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can find further information about data protection at YouTube in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Google Fonts (local hosting)
This page uses so-called Google Fonts, provided by Google, for a standardised display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google's servers is made.
Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of uniform font display. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online services and the easy location of places indicated on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of 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 end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. More details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.
For more information on how user data is handled, please see Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
7. Own Services
Google Drive
We have integrated Google Drive on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Drive allows us to embed an upload area on our website where you can upload content. When you upload content, it will be stored on Google Drive's servers. Additionally, when you visit our website, a connection will be established with Google Drive so that Google Drive can determine that you have visited our website.
The use of Google Drive is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in a reliable upload area on its website. Where consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for the use of the aforementioned service. This is a legally mandated contract under data protection law that ensures the service provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
