Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting our website and using our services and products. At Komimou, we prioritize data protection highly.

You can use our website without providing personal data; however, if you wish to use special services through our website, processing of personal data may be necessary.

When processing personal data is required and there is no legal basis for it, we will typically obtain consent from the individual involved.

1. Definitions

Personal data processing, such as names, addresses, email addresses, or phone numbers, will always comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable country-specific data protection laws relevant to Komimou.

Through this data protection declaration, we aim to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Additionally, individuals are informed about their rights under this declaration.

As the data controller, Komimou has implemented various technical and organizational measures to ensure the highest possible protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, individuals are free to provide personal data to us via alternative methods, such as email.

The privacy policy of Transient (Company name “Komimou”) is based on the terminology used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be clear and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms we use.

In this privacy policy, the following terms, among others, are used:

a) Personal Data

Personal data refers to 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, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data Subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the entity responsible for processing.

c) Processing

Processing refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, 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 that involves the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, particularly to analyze or predict aspects concerning that person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, 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 organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller

The controller, or controller responsible for 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 processing 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

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which 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 are not considered recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities must be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

j) Third Party

A 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 authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and Address of the Controller

Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union, and other provisions related to data protection is:

Tax number: 182058431

Website: [www.transient.studio](http://www.transient.studio)

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of Komimou 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 data 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, Komimou 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. For example, the website user that uses cookies 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 Komimou website 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

8. any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Komimou 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

4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.

Therefore, Komimou 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. Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for their own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g., a payment provider) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. In this regard, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.

The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.
