Privacy Policy

This website is deliberately lean. It sets no cookies, uses no local storage, no analytics, tracking or social media plugins, and loads fonts, images and scripts only from our own server. No cookie banner is therefore needed. Because the site is operated from Germany, the GDPR applies.

External services become active only when you take action yourself: the map or booking a call. The contact form is processed by the form service Basin. Details below.

When a page is requested, our hosting provider IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany, automatically logs: IP address, date and time, requested file, data volume and status, browser type and version, operating system and, if sent, the referring page.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is secure operation and defence against attacks. The data is not combined with other sources and is deleted after 180 days. An Article 28 GDPR data processing agreement is in place with IONOS.

When you submit a contact form on our websites, your entries (name, email or phone, your role, organisation or city, message) and, for technical reasons, your IP address are sent to the form service Basin (usebasin.com), which receives and stores them on our behalf and forwards them by email to info@anniethingispossible.com. A data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR is in place with Basin. Basin also processes data outside the EU; such transfers are based on appropriate safeguards under Article 46 GDPR (EU Standard Contractual Clauses), a copy of which you can request from us. Basin deletes the entries as soon as we no longer need them there.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry concerns a contract, otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We delete your message once your enquiry is concluded and no statutory retention applies. Using the form is optional; you can also reach us by email or phone.

If you contact us by email, phone or WhatsApp, we process your details to answer your enquiry (Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR) and delete them once it is concluded, unless statutory retention applies; business correspondence is kept for six or ten years under German commercial and tax law.

WhatsApp is a service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Dublin; a transfer to Meta Platforms, Inc. in the US cannot be ruled out. If you prefer not to use WhatsApp, please use email or phone.

The “Book a call” button takes you to the website of Calendly LLC, 115 E Main St, Ste A1B, Buford, GA 30518, USA, where you enter your name, email and any other details. Calendly processes data in the US and is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. A data processing agreement with Calendly is in place.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to a possible collaboration). We delete appointment data when it is no longer needed. Alternatively, you can arrange a call by email.

The map on the contact page loads only when you click “Show map”. Before that, no connection to Google is made.

After the click, your browser sends data such as your IP address to Google Ireland Limited, Dublin; a transfer to Google LLC in the US cannot be ruled out. Google may set cookies and process data for its own purposes. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, given by the click. Reloading the page deactivates the map again; earlier processing remains lawful. Details: Google’s privacy policy.

Links to LinkedIn or other external sites are plain links. A connection to the provider is made only when you click; from then on, the provider’s privacy policy applies.

If you become a candidate, or your organisation works with us, we process further data (for example CV, certificates, job details). We will inform you about this separately and in writing beforehand. For placement services, Section 298 of the German Social Code III (SGB III) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) also apply.

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) (Art. 21). You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)). Please contact us at the address above.

You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.

The Chinese-language website anniezhongde.cn is the responsibility of the legally independent company 安尼中德管理咨询（深圳）有限公司; its own privacy policy applies there.

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