This English version is provided for convenience only. The German version is legally binding.
In this privacy policy we inform you, in accordance with Art. 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which personal data we process when you visit our website www.an-lasershow.de or contact us, for which purposes and on which legal basis this is done, how long we store the data and which rights you have.
1. Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
ANS Media
Norbert Stangl
Unterm Einsatz 14
78224 Singen
E-mail:
Further details can be found in the legal notice. We have not designated a data protection officer, as we are not legally obliged to do so. If you have any questions about data protection, please write to the e-mail address given above.
2. The key points in brief
- We use no analytics or tracking tools (no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel or the like) and show no advertising.
- Fonts, images, scripts and our own videos are loaded from our own web space. There are no social media plug-ins and no embedded maps. The only exception is YouTube videos – they load only once you actively click “Load video” (section 10).
- We ourselves set only one technically necessary cookie (session cookie) – which is why there is no cookie banner. You give your consent for a YouTube video directly at the video.
- We receive personal data from you only when you write to us – by e-mail, via the contact form or via the enquiry form.
- There is no customer account, no online shop, no newsletter and no comment function.
3. Hosting and server log files
Our website is operated by a professional hosting service provider whose registered office and data centres are in Germany. It processes the data exclusively on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions; a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with it.
Each time a page is accessed, your browser automatically transmits information to the server, which is stored in so-called server log files:
- IP address of the requesting device
- date and time of access
- page or file accessed, volume of data transferred and HTTP status code
- website from which you came to us (referrer)
- browser and operating system used (user agent)
This data is technically required to deliver the website, to ensure its stability and security and to fend off attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure and error-free operation of the website. The log files are not combined with other data and are deleted or anonymised after a short time, unless they are needed to investigate a specific security incident.
4. SSL/TLS encryption
The website can only be accessed via an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Data that you transmit to us – for example via the forms – therefore cannot be read by third parties. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the padlock symbol and by “https://” in the address bar of your browser.
5. Cookies and local storage
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores. We use only a session cookie of the content management system Joomla. It contains a random identifier by which the server recognises your browser during a visit – this is necessary, for example, for the security code of the forms to work. The cookie contains no further information about you and is deleted when you close your browser.
The legal basis for storing the cookie is Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act; strictly necessary), and for the associated processing Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We do not use third-party cookies; what happens when a YouTube video is played is described in section 10.
If we display a notice bar (for example about a promotional period) and you close it, your browser remembers this in its local storage so that the notice does not appear again. This information remains on your device and is not transmitted to us.
You can view, delete or block cookies and the local storage at any time in your browser settings. Without the session cookie, it may not be possible to submit the forms.
6. Contact form and enquiry form
You can send us a message via the contact form or request a laser show via the enquiry form.
- Contact form: name, e-mail address and your message.
- Enquiry form: your name, your e-mail address and – optionally – company and telephone number, as well as the details of your event (for example location, date, size, number of visitors, desired show elements, budget and your comment).
Mandatory fields are marked in the form; without them we cannot process your message. When the form is submitted, we additionally store the date and time and your IP address in order to be able to trace misuse.
The details are stored in the database of our website (form extension “Visforms” on our web server) and forwarded by e-mail to our mailbox
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR insofar as your message is aimed at a contract or a quote, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – our legitimate interest consists in answering your enquiry. For the date, time and IP address, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (protection against misuse).
We delete the data as soon as your enquiry has been conclusively dealt with and no further queries are to be expected, at the latest after 12 months without further contact. If an order is placed, we retain the documents required for it for as long as commercial and tax law provisions require (as a rule six or ten years respectively).
7. Contact by e-mail
If you write us an e-mail, we process your e-mail address and the details from your message in order to reply to you. The legal basis, storage period and deletion are governed by section 6. Please note that unencrypted e-mails can, as a matter of principle, be read by third parties in transit; for confidential details, please use the forms, which are transmitted in encrypted form.
8. Protecting the forms against spam
To prevent our forms from being misused by automated programs, we use three protective measures that run entirely on our web server: a security code (an image with characters that you type in), a field invisible to humans that only spam programs fill in, and a minimum time between loading and submitting the form. No data is transmitted to third parties in the process – in particular, we use neither Google reCAPTCHA nor external spam databases. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (protection against misuse).
9. Fonts, images and videos
All fonts and images on this website as well as our own videos – including the showreel and the video on the home page – are loaded from our own web space. No connection to Google Fonts or other third-party providers is established in the process. For embedded YouTube videos, see section 10. The photos of our shows contain no metadata such as the location where they were taken or camera data.
10. YouTube videos
On some pages we may embed videos from YouTube. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
For this we use exclusively YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (embedding via youtube-nocookie.com) and, in addition, a two-click solution: as long as you do not click “Load video”, no connection to YouTube is established – the preview image comes from our own web space. Only when you click is the video loaded from YouTube.
From that moment on, Google receives in particular your IP address, the address of the page on which you are watching the video, and technical details about your browser and device. Even in privacy-enhanced mode, YouTube may, after playback, store or read information on your device (for example in the browser’s local storage) and process data for playback, fraud prevention and statistical purposes. If you are logged in to Google or YouTube, Google can attribute the retrieval to your account; you can avoid this by logging out beforehand. Google also processes data in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection (Art. 45 GDPR).
The legal basis is your consent, which you give by clicking “Load video” (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). The consent applies only to the video in question and the page view in question; you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future by leaving or reloading the page and deleting data stored by YouTube in your browser. Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
11. Links to other websites
Our pages may contain links to websites of other providers. Only when you click such a link do you leave our website; from then on, the privacy provisions of the respective provider apply. No data is transmitted to these providers before that.
12. Recipients and transfers to third countries
Apart from us, the only recipient of your data is our hosting service provider as processor (see section 3). If an order is placed, we pass on data only insofar as this is necessary for its performance (for example to authorities in the context of a permit for or notification of the laser show) or we are legally obliged to do so (for example to the tax office). We ourselves do not transfer any data to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. If you load a YouTube video, Google receives the data referred to in section 10 and may also process it in the USA.
13. No automated decision-making
We do not take any solely automated decisions and do not carry out profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
14. Your rights
You have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to the personal data concerning you:
- Access to the data we process (Art. 15 GDPR)
- Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data (Art. 16 GDPR)
- Erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR), insofar as no statutory retention obligation prevents this
- Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- Data portability – receiving the data you have provided in a commonly used, machine-readable format (Art. 20 GDPR)
- Withdrawal of consent you have given, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): Insofar as we process data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests), you may object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
To exercise your rights, an informal message to
Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
