3. General Notes and Mandatory Information
Data Protection
The operators of these pages 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 using this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication via email) can have security gaps. A seamless protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the Responsible Entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
Michel Engineering LLC
Jan Andreas Michel Riquelme
8 The Green, Suite A
Dover, 19901 Delaware
USA
Phone:
+4917687882602
Email:
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate deletion request or withdraw consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.
General Notes on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Article 9 (2) lit. a GDPR if special categories of data are processed under Article 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49 (1) lit. a GDPR. If you consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing also takes place based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if required to fulfill a legal obligation based on Article 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. Data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The applicable legal basis for each case is further explained in the subsequent paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Note on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries that are not legally secure in terms of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that no data protection level comparable to the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to release personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases as Well as to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR A PARTICULAR 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 FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING PROFILING, TO THE EXTENT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the case of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in the fulfillment of a contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and have it transferred to you or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

You have the right to request information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing at any time, free of charge, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. You also have the right to rectification or deletion of this data. For this and any other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify it. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.If the processing of your personal data was unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.If you have filed an objection under Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be made. Until it is clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed – aside from their storage – with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
