Privacy Policy

This is a translation provided for your convenience. The legally binding version is the German original.

The protection of your personal data is important to us. Below we inform you about the processing of your data when you visit this website and when you shop with us.

1. Controller

Blackfort Technology UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Ernst-Robert-Curtius-Straße 8A, 53117 Bonn, Germany, e-mail: info@blackfort-tec.de.

2. Accessing this website (hosting)

This storefront is a static website delivered from a server in Germany. When you access it, the web server processes technically necessary access data (including IP address, date/time, requested resource, referrer, browser type) in order to deliver and secure the page. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in stable, secure operation). Merely viewing the page does not set any analytics or marketing cookies without your consent (see sections 4–5).

3. Order & payment

This website currently has no ordering, cart or payment function. You cannot buy anything here, and we process no order or payment data when you visit these pages.

Mandelina's handmade jewelry is sold through our shop on the Etsy platform. Ordering, payment and shipping happen there; only once you follow a link to Etsy does Etsy process your data as its own controller under its privacy policy; Etsy is a US company, so a transfer to the USA is possible. The legal basis for performing a contract concluded there is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We embed no Etsy content on this website — product images are served from our own server, so no connection to Etsy is made before your click.

4. Reach measurement with Matomo

For the statistical analysis of website usage we use the self-hosted open-source software Matomo. The analysis is carried out without cookies and with a shortened (anonymised) IP address; no data is transferred to third parties and the data does not leave our own infrastructure. This makes the identification of individual persons impossible. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data-minimising reach measurement). The analytics service runs under analytics.mandelina.co.

5. Web analytics with Google Analytics 4 (only with consent)

If you consent via the cookie notice, we additionally use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. GA4 uses cookies or comparable technologies to analyse your use of the website (including pages viewed, time spent, approximate location, device and browser data). Personal data may be transferred – including to the USA to Google LLC (Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). IP anonymisation is enabled.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG). We use Google Consent Mode v2: no analytics cookies are set without your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by deleting the selection stored locally in your browser for this website (key mnd_consent); the cookie notice will then be shown again. Further information: Google's privacy policy.

6. Fonts

This page embeds fonts from Google Fonts. In doing so, a connection to Google's servers may be established and your IP address transmitted. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, please contact the address given above.
