Privacy policy

This is a translation for your convenience. Only the German version of this privacy policy is legally binding.

1. Controller

A&F Automobile UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Adlzreiterstraße 17
80337 Munich, Germany
Managing director: Dionysios-Alexandros Drovatzikas
Phone: +49 174 7575428
Email: afautomobileug@gmail.com

2. In short

This website is purely informational. There is no contact form, no customer account, no cookies, no analytics or tracking tools and no embedded content from other providers (no maps, videos or social media plugins). The fonts are delivered together with the website. Personal data is only processed when the page is technically delivered and when you contact us yourself.

3. Hosting and delivery of the website

The website runs on Cloudflare Pages, a service of Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Cloudflare delivers the pages through a worldwide server network (content delivery network) and protects them against attacks.

Cloudflare processes this data on our behalf as a processor (Art. 28 GDPR) on the basis of Cloudflare’s data processing agreement (Data Processing Addendum). When you open the website, Cloudflare processes technically necessary data, in particular your IP address, the date and time of the request, the address requested, the amount of data transferred, information about your browser and operating system (user agent) and, where applicable, the previously visited page (referrer). In addition, if a connection error occurs, your browser may send technical error reports (Network Error Logging) to Cloudflare. The website cannot be delivered securely without this processing. We do not analyse this data ourselves or combine it with other data. Cloudflare stores it only for as long as necessary for delivery, security and troubleshooting; details on the storage period can be found in Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to provide the website securely, quickly and reliably.

Data may be transferred to the USA in the process. Cloudflare, Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; the transfer is based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR). In addition, Cloudflare has included the EU standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR) in its data processing agreement. More information: www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

4. SSL/TLS encryption

The website is delivered exclusively over encrypted HTTPS, recognisable by “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar. Data transmitted when you visit cannot be read by third parties.

5. No cookies, no analytics

We do not set cookies and do not use any analytics, statistics or advertising services. There is no tracking.

6. Storing your language choice

If you choose a language with the language switcher (DE / EN / EL), we store that choice in your browser’s local storage (localStorage, entry “af-lang”, content: only the language code “de”, “en” or “el”) so that the website appears in the language you chose on your next visit. The entry is only set when you choose a language yourself. It stays on your device, is not sent to us or to third parties and does not expire automatically; you can remove it at any time in your browser settings (clear site data).

The legal basis for storing it on your device is § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG (strictly necessary for the service you explicitly requested, i.e. showing the site in your language). Insofar as any personal data is processed at all, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in showing the website in the requested language).

7. Fonts

The fonts used are stored together with the website at our hosting provider (Cloudflare, see section 3) and loaded from there. No connection to Google or any other font provider is made when you visit the website.

8. Display of our Google rating

The website shows our current average rating and number of reviews on Google. Our server fetches these figures via the Google Places API at most about once a day and caches them. Your browser only contacts our own server; no data about you is sent to Google. The review excerpts shown are fixed text on the page.

9. Links to other providers

The website contains links to Google Maps, WhatsApp and Instagram. These are simple links, not embedded content: no data is sent to these providers unless you click them. Only when you click a link does the provider’s service open, and its privacy policy applies:

10. Contacting us by phone, email or WhatsApp

If you call us, email us or contact us via WhatsApp, we process the information you give us (e.g. name, phone number, email address, details about your vehicle and your request) in order to answer your enquiry and to arrange an appointment or carry out a job.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or steps prior to one, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering enquiries).

For email we use Gmail, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Your email and our reply are therefore stored on Google’s servers and processed in accordance with Google’s terms (policies.google.com/privacy). A transfer to Google LLC in the USA cannot be ruled out; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR). If you would rather not email us, you can also reach us by phone.

For messages via WhatsApp, section 11 also applies.

11. Contacting us via WhatsApp

The WhatsApp buttons on this website are simple links to wa.me. No data is sent to WhatsApp unless you click them. Only when you click does WhatsApp or the WhatsApp website open.

If you write to us via WhatsApp, we see your phone number, your WhatsApp name and, where applicable, your profile picture, as well as the content of your messages. WhatsApp Ireland Limited also processes data for its own purposes under its own terms (see section 9); a transfer to the USA is possible.

The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland (www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy-eea). For transfers to its parent company Meta Platforms, Inc. in the USA, WhatsApp relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; Meta Platforms, Inc. is certified under it (adequacy decision, Art. 45 GDPR).

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or steps prior to entering into one, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering enquiries through the channel you choose).

Using WhatsApp is voluntary. If you prefer not to use WhatsApp, you can also call us on +49 174 7575428 or email us at afautomobileug@gmail.com.

12. Retention

We only keep personal data for as long as needed for the purpose in question. Enquiries that do not lead to a job are deleted once they have been dealt with. Data relating to jobs is kept for as long as statutory retention periods require (in particular under § 147 AO and § 257 HGB: six, eight or ten years depending on the document).

13. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). Just contact us using the details above.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): Where we process data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you can object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

14. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany, www.lda.bayern.de.

15. Obligation to provide data, automated decisions

You are not obliged to provide us with personal data, but we cannot answer an enquiry without your contact details. There is no automated decision-making, including profiling.

16. Changes

We update this privacy policy when the website or the law changes. The version published here applies.
