3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures 

Data Protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy. 

 

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data includes any data that can personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. 

 

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible. 

 

Information on the Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is: 

MITTAG Management Consulting CO. L.L.C

PO Box 449822 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates 

Phone: +971 50 175 9874 

Email: kontakt@richardmittag.com 

 

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.). 

 

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you request deletion of your data or revoke your consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing it (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods). In such cases, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply. 

 

Data Transfer

We use tools from companies based in the USA. Tools from other parts of the world are also in use. Not all countries have an adequate data protection level. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We note that some countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to the EU, for example. So, US companies may be required to disclose personal data to authorities without you being able to take legal action. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities. 

 

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing 

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke previously given consent at any time. The legality of data processing prior to revocation remains unaffected. 

 

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR). 

 

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT RELATED TO SUCH MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR). 

 

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority 

In case of GDPR violations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies. 

 

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or contract fulfillment in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer to another responsible party, this will only be done if technically feasible. 

 

SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us. An encrypted connection is indicated by "https://" and a lock icon in your browser bar. 

 

When encryption is active, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. 

 

Access, Deletion, and Correction 

Under applicable law, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and processing purpose, as well as the right to correct or delete this data. For any questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time. 

 

Right to Restriction of Processing 

You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time. The right to restriction applies in the following cases: 

- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During verification, you may request restricted processing. 

- If processing was/is unlawful, you may request restricted processing instead of deletion. 

- If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for legal claims, you may request restricted processing instead of deletion. 

- If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. Until this is determined, you may request restricted processing. 

 

If processing is restricted, your data may only be stored—not further processed—unless with your consent or for legal claims, to protect others' rights, or for important public interest reasons in the EU or a member state. 

 

Objection to Promotional Emails 

We hereby object to the use of contact data published under legal notice requirements for sending unsolicited promotional or informational materials. The website operators reserve the right to take legal action in case of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.
