The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various personal data may be processed. This Privacy Policy explains which data we collect, what we use it for and on which legal basis this happens.

Email: info@my-plantblog.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw consent to processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing it, for example tax or commercial retention periods. In such cases, deletion takes place after these reasons no longer apply.
Legal bases for processing
If you have given consent, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device, processing additionally takes place on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. If we are legally obliged to process data, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In other cases, processing may be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Transfer of data to third countries
We may use services provided by companies based outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. If such services are active, personal data may be transferred to and processed in third countries. Transfers may take place, for example, on the basis of an adequacy decision, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, EU Standard Contractual Clauses or your explicit consent, where legally required.
Recipients of personal data
In connection with our website, we work with external service providers and partners. These may include hosting providers, consent management services, analytics tools and affiliate networks. Personal data is only shared where there is a legal basis for doing so or where the necessary consent has been obtained.
Withdrawal of your consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time with effect for the future. The legality of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to object
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to such processing at any time.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
If you believe that data protection law has been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have such data transferred to another controller where technically feasible.
Access, correction and deletion
Within the scope of applicable law, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of data processing. You may also have a right to correction or deletion of this data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right.
SSL or TLS encryption
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser.
Objection to unsolicited advertising emails
We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of legal notice obligations for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.
4. Cookies and consent management
Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session or permanently on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or your browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies may come from us or from third-party providers. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them. Other cookies may be used to analyse visitor behaviour, to measure reach, to display external content or to attribute commissions in connection with affiliate programmes.
Technically necessary cookies are generally stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the technically error-free and optimised provision of our website. Where consent is requested for the storage of cookies or comparable technologies, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Consent management with Complianz
We use the WordPress plugin Complianz | GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent on this website to obtain, document and manage consent for cookies and comparable technologies.
With Complianz, visitors can choose which categories of cookies and services they wish to allow. Technically non-essential services, in particular analytics, marketing, affiliate tracking, advertising-related functions or external content, are generally loaded only after the required consent has been obtained.
To store your consent selection, technically necessary cookies or comparable local storage technologies may be used. In particular, your consent decision, the time of consent, cookie categories and technical information may be processed. Processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, insofar as we are legally required to be able to document consent, and on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in managing consent in a privacy-compliant manner.
Change cookie settings:
You can change your cookie settings or withdraw consent already given at any time through the cookie settings provided on this website.
The specific list of cookies and services is provided through the consent management tool or the cookie settings of this website and may vary depending on which services are active.
5. Data collection on this website
Server log files
The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This may include in particular:
- browser type and browser version,
- operating system used,
- referrer URL,
- host name of the accessing computer,
- time of the server request,
- IP address.
This data is not combined with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of the website as well as in maintaining security and stability.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via a contact form, the information from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, where requested.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions remain unaffected.
Enquiries by email or telephone
If you contact us by email or telephone, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, where requested.
Comment function on this website
If the comment function is enabled on this website, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created, your email address and, if you do not post anonymously, your chosen username may be stored.
Storage of the IP address
Our comment function may store the IP addresses of users who write comments. We need this data to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations, such as insults, unlawful content or spam.
Storage period for comments
Comments and the associated data may be stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons.
Legal basis
Comments are stored on the basis of your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, where consent is requested. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. In other cases, processing may be based on our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional comment area under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
6. Analytics and reach measurement
Matomo
This website may use the open-source web analytics service Matomo. With Matomo, we can collect and analyse data about how visitors use our website. This allows us, for example, to understand which pages are viewed, when visits take place and from which region visitors access the website. Technical data such as IP address, referrer, browser type and operating system may also be processed.
The use of Matomo is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to improve the website and its content. If consent is requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as cookies or comparable technologies are stored on or accessed from your device. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
IP anonymisation
If Matomo is used, IP anonymisation is enabled. This means that your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.
Hosting of Matomo
Matomo is hosted locally on our own webspace or server. Analytics data therefore generally remains with us and is not transferred to an external Matomo cloud provider.
7. Affiliate links and partner programmes
General information about affiliate links
This website may contain affiliate links or advertising links. If you click such a link and then purchase something or perform another qualifying action with the relevant provider, we may receive a commission. This does not result in any additional costs for you.
When you click an affiliate link, technical information may be processed, for example the time of the click, the page visited, the referring website, browser information, IP address or a pseudonymous assignment of the click. This processing is used in particular for commission attribution, fraud prevention and the allocation of sales or leads.
Where cookies, tracking pixels or similar technologies for affiliate marketing are placed or read on our website, this happens only on the basis of your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Where processing takes place only after an active click on an affiliate link and the respective provider processes data independently, the privacy information of that provider also applies.
Amazon PartnerNet / Amazon Associates
We may participate in the Amazon affiliate programme. The responsible Amazon entity may depend on the Amazon country website used. For Amazon sites in Europe, this may include Amazon Europe Core S.à r.l. and other Amazon group companies, 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg. For other Amazon country websites, another Amazon group company may be responsible.
As an Amazon affiliate, we may earn from qualifying purchases. This website may therefore contain links to Amazon websites such as Amazon.com, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk or other local Amazon sites, depending on the article and audience. If you click an Amazon affiliate link, you will be redirected to Amazon. Amazon may recognise that you reached the offer through our website and may use cookies or comparable technologies to trace the origin of orders and attribute commissions.
Processing in connection with simple affiliate links is based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in financing and maintaining our online content. Where cookies or comparable technologies are placed or read on our website, this happens only after your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.
Further information about Amazon’s data processing can be found in Amazon’s privacy notice: Amazon Privacy Notice.
Awin
We may use the affiliate network Awin. Provider: AWIN AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 1A, 10249 Berlin, Germany. Awin connects advertisers and publishers and enables the attribution of clicks, sales or other qualifying actions in affiliate marketing.
If you click an Awin affiliate link, data may be processed for commission attribution and fraud prevention. This may include information about the click, the page visited, time of access, referrer, browser data, IP address and pseudonymous identifiers. This data is used to determine whether a qualifying transaction has taken place via our website.
Processing is based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in monetising our content through affiliate marketing. If cookies or similar technologies are stored on or read from your device, this happens only after your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time through the cookie settings.
Further information about Awin’s data processing can be found in Awin’s privacy policy: Awin Privacy Policy.
8. Social media and external links
This website may contain links to social networks and external platforms. If these are simple links, no data is transferred to those providers merely by visiting our website. Data is transferred only when you actively click such a link and leave our website. The privacy policies of the respective providers then apply.
If external content, social media elements, embedded posts, videos, maps or similar services are embedded directly on this website, they are generally loaded only after your consent through our consent management tool, where consent is required.
9. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time if the services used on this website, the technical setup or legal requirements change. The version published on this website at the time of your visit applies.
