Privacy
Introduction
We, the team at pure models, take the protection of personal data very seriously in our daily work and on our website, and we therefore always handle your data responsibly. Where applicable, we are obliged to comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). This privacy policy covers and relates to our entire online offering, the associated websites, their functions and content, as well as external online presences, including our profiles on social networks. We have implemented technical and organisational measures to ensure compliance with the legal provisions governing personal data. Operating our services entails that we collect and process certain personal data of our visitors and users. We collect, process, and use personal data in connection with visiting our services only to the extent described in this privacy policy.
Information about the collection of personal data
(1) Below we provide information about the collection of personal data when using our online services. Personal data means any data that can be related to you personally, for example name, address, email addresses, and user behaviour.
(2) The controller within the meaning of Article 4(7) GDPR and other national data protection laws of the Member States, as well as other data protection provisions, is:
Company: pure models
First and last name: Jan-Henrik Zimmer
Service address: Waldstraße 6, 04105 Leipzig, Germany
Email address: hello@pure-models.de
(3) If you contact us by email or via a contact form, the data you provide (your email address and, where applicable, your name and telephone number) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We delete the data arising in this context once storage is no longer necessary, or we restrict processing if statutory retention obligations apply.
(4) If we use commissioned service providers for individual functions of our services or if we wish to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail below about the respective processes. We also specify the defined criteria for the storage period.
(5) As a rule, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users generally takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and processing is permitted by statutory provisions.
(6) If we obtain consent for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
(7) If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.
(8) If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
(9) If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
(10) If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override that interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
(11) Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned provisions expires, unless further storage is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
Your rights
(1) If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
- right of access,
- right to rectification or erasure,
- right to restriction of processing,
- right to object to processing,
- right to data portability,
- right to withdraw a declaration of consent under data protection law.
(2) Right of access: You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data relating to you is being processed by us. Where such processing is taking place, you may request the following information from the controller:
- the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
- the categories of personal data that are processed;
- the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data relating to you has been disclosed or will be disclosed;
- the planned duration of storage of the personal data relating to you or, if specific information is not possible, the criteria used to determine the storage period;
- the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data relating to you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing;
- the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
- all available information about the source of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
- the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
You have the right to request information as to whether personal data relating to you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
This right of access may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes.
(3) Right to rectification: You have a right to rectification and or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data relating to you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay. Your right to rectification may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes.
(4) Right to restriction of processing: Under the following conditions, you may request restriction of processing of personal data relating to you:
- if you contest the accuracy of the personal data relating to you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
- if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of the use of the personal data instead;
- if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims; or
- if you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.
- If the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data may, apart from storage, only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted under the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
Your right to restriction of processing may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes.
(5) Right to erasure
a) Obligation to erase: You may request the controller to erase personal data relating to you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
- The personal data relating to you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
- You withdraw consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
- You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
- The personal data relating to you has been unlawfully processed.
- The erasure of the personal data relating to you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
- The personal data relating to you has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.
b) Information to third parties: Where the controller has made the personal data relating to you public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase it, the controller shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, that personal data.
c) Exceptions: The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary
- for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
- for compliance with a legal obligation that requires processing under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;
- for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
- for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
(6) Right to be informed: If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data relating to you has been disclosed of such rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.
(7) Right to data portability: You have the right to receive personal data relating to you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, provided that
- the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and
- the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data relating to you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Right to object: You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to object to processing of personal data relating to you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data relating to you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data relating to you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data relating to you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data relating to you will no longer be processed for such purposes.
You have the possibility, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
You also have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to processing of personal data relating to you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR. Your right to object may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.
(8) Right to withdraw consent: You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.
(9) Automated individual decision-making including profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
- is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller,
- is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
- is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place. With regard to the above cases, the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.
(10) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
Provision of the website and creation of log files
(1) Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device. The following data is collected:
- information about the browser type and version used
- the user’s operating system
- the user’s internet service provider
- the user’s IP address
- date and time of access
- websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
- websites accessed by the user’s system via our website
(2) The log files do not contain IP addresses or other data that would allow the assignment to a user. The data is also stored in the log files of our system. Excluded from this are the user’s IP addresses or other data that would enable an assignment of the data to a user. Such data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
(3) The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
(4) The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s device. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
(5) These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session ends.
(6) The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Therefore, the user has no right to object.

Additional functions and services on our website
(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you generally need to provide additional personal data that we use to provide the respective service and to which the above principles of data processing apply.

Objection or revocation regarding the processing of your data
(1) If you have given consent for the processing of your data, you may revoke it at any time. Such a revocation affects the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have notified us of the revocation.
(2) If we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you, which we describe in each case below when explaining the respective functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we do. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or explain our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

Use of Google Analytics
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage for the website operator.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
(3) You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly. However, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are processed in truncated form, which generally prevents direct personal identification. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is excluded immediately and the personal data is deleted without delay.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR.

Integration of Google Maps
(1) On this website we use the Google Maps service. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you convenient use of the map function.
(2) By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned under A.III. of this policy is transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out, in particular, also for users who are not logged in, to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.
(3) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s privacy policies. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Newsletter
(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.
(2) For subscribing to our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after you register, we send an email to the email address you provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your IP addresses used and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify possible misuse of your personal data.
(3) The only mandatory information required for sending the newsletter is your email address. Providing further, separately marked data (first name, last name) is voluntary and is used to address you personally. After confirmation, we store your email address and the voluntarily provided data for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis is Article 6(1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR.
(4) You can withdraw your consent to receiving the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe. You can withdraw by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter email, [via this form on the website,] by email to [Newsletter@example.com] or by sending a message to the contact details provided in the imprint.
(5) We point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent 1-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned under A.III. and the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. The data is collected only in pseudonymised form, meaning the IDs are not linked to your other personal data; direct personal identification is excluded.
(6) You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking the separate link provided in each email or by informing us via another contact channel. The information is stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. Such tracking is also not possible if you have disabled the display of images by default in your email program. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed in full and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the tracking described above will take place.
Use of the mailing service provider Mailchimp
(1) The newsletters are sent via the mailing service provider MailChimp.
(2) The mailing service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28(3) sentence 1 GDPR.
(3) The mailing service provider may use the recipients’ data in pseudonymised form, meaning without assignment to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, for example for technical optimisation of shipping and the presentation of newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the mailing service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.
(4) MailChimp is a newsletter distribution platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
