Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a
particularly high priority for the management of the Anat Katz Belfer. The use of the Internet pages of the Anat Katz Belfer is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data
could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and
there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent
from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number
of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection
regulations applicable to the Anat Katz Belfer. By means of this data protection declaration, our
enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and
purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data
subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the
rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the Anat Katz Belfer has
implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most
complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However,
Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so
absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject
is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by
telephone.
1.Definitions
The data protection declaration of the Anat Katz Belfer
is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration
should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our

the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
- a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural
person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified,
directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a
name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one
or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental,
economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
- b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data
is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
- c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on
sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection,
recording, organisation, structuring, storage,
adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission,
dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination,
restriction, erasure or destruction.
- d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting
their processing in the future.
- e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use
of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural
person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects
concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation,
health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour,
location or movements.
- f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional
information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and
is subject to technical and organisational measures
to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or
identifiable natural person.
- g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person,
public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others,
determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the
purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State
law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided
for by Union or Member State law.
- h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which
processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
- i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to
which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However,
public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a
particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be
regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public
authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules
according to the purposes of the processing.
- j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than
the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct
authority of the controller or processor, are authorised
to process personal data.
- k) Consent

3. Cookies
The Internet pages of the Anat Katz Belfer use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a
computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie
ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string
through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific
Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet
sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified
using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the Anat Katz Belfer can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in
mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website
users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to
utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to
enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over
by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system.
Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online
store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping
cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a
corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently
deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at
any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible
in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting
of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may
be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of the Anat Katz Belfer collects a series
of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls
up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log
files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the
operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an
accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the
sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an
Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of
the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may
be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these
general data and information, the Anat Katz Belfer does not draw any conclusions about the data
subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our
website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its
advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology
systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities
with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a
cyber-attack. Therefore, the Anat Katz Belfer analyzes anonymously collected data and information
statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security
of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the
personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored
separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of the Anat Katz Belfer, users are
given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input
mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as
well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The Anat Katz Belfer informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data
subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data
subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be
sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for
newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This
confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as
the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During theregistration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer
system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data
subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the
registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand
the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to
send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed
by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter
service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event
of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in
technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected
by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter
may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage
of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter,
may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a
corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to
unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the
controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.
6. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of the Anat Katz Belfer contains
so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in
such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and
analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of
online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Anat Katz Belfer may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and
which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and
analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter,
as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the
interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to
third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective
separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure.
After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The Anat Katz Belfer automatically
regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
7. Contact possibility via the website
The website of the Anat Katz Belfer contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the
so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the
controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by
the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a
voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose
of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this
personal data to third parties.
8. Comments function in the blog on the website
The Anat Katz Belfer offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people
called bloggers or web-bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts in
so-called blogposts. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made by
the data subject are also stored and published, as well as information on the
date of the commentary and on the user's (pseudonym) chosen by the data
subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider
(ISP) to the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes
place for security reasons, and in case the data subject violates the rights of
third parties, or posts illegal content through a
given comment. The storage of these personal data is, therefore, in the own
interest of the data controller, so that he can exculpate in the event of an
infringement. This collected personal data will not be passed to third parties,
unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of
the data controller.
9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the
period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is
granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations
to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European
legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are
routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
10. Rights of the data subject
- a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain

subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the Anat Katz Belfer, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of Anat Katz Belfer shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article
17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available
technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps,
including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the
personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers
of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as
processing is not required. An employees of the Anat Katz Belfer will arrange the
necessary measures in individual cases.
- e) Right of restriction of processing

processing, but they are required by the data subject for the
establishment, exercise or defence of legal
claims. - The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the
GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the
controller override those of the data subject.
- The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a
data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data
stored by the Anat Katz Belfer,
he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee
of the Anat Katz Belfer will arrange the restriction of the processing.
- f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to
receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a
controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or
she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without
hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as
long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article
6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract
pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is
carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for
the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise
of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of
the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data

processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e)
or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on
these provisions.
The Anat Katz Belfer shall no
longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can
demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the
interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment,
exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the Anat Katz Belfer processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning
him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it
is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the Anat Katz Belfer to the

she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Anat Katz Belfer.
11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a
social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually
allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A
social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide
personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users
to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through
friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United
States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the
controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was
integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data
subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding
Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of
all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
During the course of this technical procedure,
Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by
the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up
to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on
our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by
the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component
and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the
data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website,
e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment,
then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account
of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our
website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same
time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs
regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not.
If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data
subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook
account before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at
https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection,
processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained
there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data
subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to
allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may
be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics
(with anonymization function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the
anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web
analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior
of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data
about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which
sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was
viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in
order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow
Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP
address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google
and anonymised when accessing our websites from a
Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the
Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google
uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our
website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our
websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site
for us.
Google Analytics
places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie,
Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one
of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the
Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will
automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the
purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the
enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP
address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the
origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which
the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data
subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including
the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be
transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are
stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these
personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time
by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus
permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already
in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or
other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are
generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as
well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any
such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under
the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser
add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and
information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google
Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection
by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later
deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall
the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was
uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to
their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the
reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information
and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further
explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
13. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR
serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent
for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is
necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party,
as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the
supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on
Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which
are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the
case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject
to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as
for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)
lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal
data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of
another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were
injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital
information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third
party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally,
processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal
basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the
abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of
the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where
such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and
freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such
processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been
specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a
legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the
controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
14. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing
of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest
is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees
and the shareholders.
15. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to
determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory
retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is
routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer
necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
16. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement
necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide
the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or
can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the
contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that
the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be
processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with
personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The
non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract
with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided
by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee
clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is
required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract,
whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
17. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible
company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
