This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the date and time of access to the website, (5) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (6) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (7) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our systems. Walter Storms Galerie GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly (2) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (3) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

SSL encryption

Newsletter
On the website of Walter Storms Galerie GmbH you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our gallery’s newsletter.
The purpose is to inform you about our gallery activities, exhibitions, offers, trade fair participations and events.
Your data will be used exclusively to send you the subscribed newsletter by e-mail. If necessary, your name will be given in order to address you personally in the newsletter and to identify you if you wish to exercise your rights as a data subject.
To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. When registering to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by e-mail about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (e.g. changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances).
For an effective registration we need a valid e-mail address. In order to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the “double-opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the response requested herewith. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
The legal basis is Art. 6 I a DSGVO. On the basis of your expressly given consent, we will send you our newsletter or comparable information regularly by e-mail to your specified e-mail address.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. Please send us a short e-mail to post@storms-galerie.de. In addition, in each newsletter is a corresponding link to unsubscribe. In addition, you can also unsubscribe directly on this website at any time.
For the newsletter dispatch, we use the provider Sendinblue GmbH. To protect your data, we have concluded an order processing agreement with sendinblue for the sending of our newsletter. This means that sendinblue uses the given information for sending and evaluating the newsletter on our behalf. There will be no contact from sendinblue to you. We trust in the reliability of sendinblue, their IT and data security. According to sendinblue, “Our dispatch servers are located in Germany – stored user data is therefore covered by European and German data protection law – and we also have an internal data protection officer. We conclude order processing contracts with our customers and third-party providers. These are available to our customers in the software for direct conclusion. Our company is TÜV Rheinland audited and our data center is Iso 27001 certified.”

Amendment of the data protection statement
We reserve the right to adapt this data protection statement so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services in the data protection statement, e.g. when introducing new services.

Others
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete, absolute protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
