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.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
be. INTERIOR STUDIO – Elli Jaenigen
Lehmweg 34
D-20251 Hamburg

Phone: +49 172 65 31 333
Email: info@be-interiorstudio.de

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, or similar).

Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within 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 revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place after these grounds cease to apply.

Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 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 personal data concerning you for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations 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, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to 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 commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as 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 website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion, and correction
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal
data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and for
further questions on the topic of personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 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 restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may—apart from its storage—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 a Member State.

Objection to advertising emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous 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 evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies that are required for carrying out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or for providing certain functions desired by you (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or for optimizing the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.

Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy and, if necessary, request consent.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website—server log files must be recorded for this purpose.

Inquiry by email, phone, or fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if this was requested.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—especially statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
