This document informs Users about the technologies that help this Website to achieve the purposes described below. Such technologies allow the Owner to access and store information (for example by using a Cookie) or use resources (for example by running a script) on a User’s device as they interact with this Website.
For simplicity, all such technologies are defined as "Trackers" within this document – unless there is a reason to differentiate.
For example, while Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile apps as they are a browser-based Tracker. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookies is only used where it is specifically meant to indicate that particular type of Tracker.
Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may also require the User's consent. Whenever consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.
This Website uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by a third-party (so-called “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may access the Trackers managed by them.
The validity and expiration periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what’s specified in the descriptions within each of the categories below, Users may find more precise and updated information regarding lifetime specification as well as any other relevant information — such as the presence of other Trackers — in the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the Owner.

Display of the Website
As mentioned above, a website cannot function without collecting certain data. It is necessary to associate the request with your IP address. In addition, other information, such as the browser used, can help in the correct display of the website.
We collect this technically necessary data via server log files. In particular, this involves information on the IP address, the time of the request, the URL of the content accessed, information on any referrer URL (website from which access is made), the access status, the browser used and the operating system used. Since this information is needed to present our website correctly, stably and securely, our legal ground for processing this data is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
We delete this technically necessary data as soon as we no longer need it. Exceptionally, however, it may be required by law to store individual data for longer. Since our website does not function correctly without this data, you do not have the option to object in this respect. If you do not agree to the collection of technically required data, we must ask you to refrain from using our offer.
In addition to this mandatory data, there are also forms of data collection on the Internet that make navigation more convenient and are generally accepted for this reason. In particular, the so-called "cookies" are to be mentioned here. Cookies are not text files that are sent by us to your device via the browser you use and stored there. Cookies serve various purposes. This can be, for example, the smooth operation of a website, but also the analysis of user flows. This analysis in turn helps us to better understand how our website is used in order to solve any problems. In addition, certain individual settings that you make can be stored via cookies. An example of this are language settings or time zones.
Cookies do not harm you. They cannot run programs or install unwanted software. However, cookies give third parties the opportunity to collect the information stored in them directly from your browser.
Temporary cookies (or session cookies) are deleted as soon as you close your browser. They are used to be able to assign different requests on the same website to your device. This assignment takes place anonymously via a so-called session ID. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, can be stored for a longer period of time and transmit information.
In addition to these cookies, we also use cookies from third-party providers. These cookies can be used to analyse the use of our website (analysis cookies). They can be used to offer users advertising that matches their internet usage (advertising cookies).
Or they can be used to interact with other people via social media (social media cookies).
You can control our use of cookies yourself via your browser settings. You have the option to delete permanent cookies yourself at any time. You can also set your browser so that it does not accept cookies or only accepts certain cookies. Furthermore, you can set your browser to notify you before cookies are stored. As described, these settings may possibly have a negative effect on the display of our website.
Our legal basis for data processing by means of cookies is, for the reasons stated, on the one hand a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. On the other hand, we may process data by means of cookies if you have consented to our use of cookies. In this case, the legal basis results from Art. 6 para. lit. 1 a) GDPR.
Finally, if you yourself actively transmit data to us, you hereby also consent to their processing. In this case, the legal basis is again Art. 6 para. 1 a) DSGVO.
An overview of the cookies we use, their purpose, type and duration can be found on our host provider's website at the URL https://www.one.com/de/info/cookie- richtlinie.

General
We are pleased that you are interested in how AlefCine Pictures (Stefanie Schmahl) protects your data.
Our website is designed to introduce you to our film projects and our team. As the operator of this website, we would like to provide you with the following information to explain how we process your data.
The term "data" is understood to mean personal data. The definition is found in Art. 4 No. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and reads: "Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person." On the Internet, this can be the IP address in particular, but also generally common information such as name, telephone number or address. Excluded from this definition of data, as it is used here, is data that cannot be assigned to you.
The "processing" of data covers almost every handling of this information. According to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR, this includes, for example, the collection, storage and also the deletion of data. If our website registers your IP address, which is technically necessary to display the website, this is already data processing.
For such processing, we need either your consent or another legal reason. This is prescribed by Art. 6 No. 1 GDPR and lists possible reasons. Let's stay with the example of your IP address: We have a legitimate interest in being able to show you our website. Accordingly, we are at least entitled under Art. 6 No. 1 lit. f) GDPR to collect the data that is technically absolutely necessary for this.
However, for this reason we are not yet entitled to collect data that is not required - for example, we do not need your name to display our website. Therefore, if we wish to process data such as your name, we must provide you with a reason for doing so other than merely the technical operation of our website. If data is no longer needed and there is no legal obligation to continue storing it, we must delete the data in question.
With this privacy policy, we would like to give you a detailed and at the same time as understandable as possible insight into why we process which of your data in which way and what exactly happens with this data. At the same time, we would like to inform you how you can contact us if you have any concerns and what your rights are if you do not agree with our handling of your data. While we strive to present this in an accessible and understandable manner, some technical terms as well as references to the GDPR unfortunately cannot be avoided. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
How to manage preferences and provide or withdraw consent
There are various ways to manage Tracker related preferences and to provide and withdraw consent, where relevant:
Users can manage preferences related to Trackers from directly within their own device settings, for example, by preventing the use or storage of Trackers.
Additionally, whenever the use of Trackers is based on consent, Users can provide or withdraw such consent by setting their preferences within the cookie notice or by updating such preferences accordingly via the relevant consent-preferences privacy widget, if available.
It is also possible, via relevant browser or device features, to delete previously stored Trackers, including those used to remember the User’s initial consent preferences.
Other Trackers in the browser’s local memory may be cleared by deleting the browsing history.
With regard to any third-party Trackers, Users can manage their preferences via the related opt-out link (where provided), by using the means indicated in the third party's privacy policy, or by contacting the third party.
Locating Tracker Settings
Users can, for example, find information about how to manage Cookies in the most commonly used browsers at the following addresses:
Users may also manage certain categories of Trackers used on mobile apps by opting out through relevant device settings such as the device advertising settings for mobile devices, or tracking settings in general (Users may open the device settings and look for the relevant setting).
Consequences of denying the use of Trackers
Users are free to decide whether or not to allow the use of Trackers. However, please note that Trackers help this Website to provide a better experience and advanced functionalities to Users (in line with the purposes outlined in this document). Therefore, if the User chooses to block the use of Trackers, the Owner may be unable to provide related features.
