Privacy

This is a translation provided for convenience. The legally binding version is the German Datenschutzerklärung.

Thank you for your interest in our driving school. Protecting your personal data matters to us. Below we explain what data we process, why we process it, and what rights you have.

1. Controller

The controller for data processing on this website within the meaning of the GDPR is:

Fahrschule YouniQ
Owner: Younes Channouf
Zeppelinstraße 7, 40231 Düsseldorf
Telephone: +49 211 2106 1988
Email: info@fahrschule-youniq.com

2. Visiting our website (server logs)

When you visit our website, our hosting provider automatically processes technical data transmitted by your browser: IP address, date and time of access, the page requested, the volume of data transferred, the referrer URL, and details of your browser and operating system.

This processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable operation of the website and in defending against attacks. The data is deleted automatically after a short period.

3. Online pre-registration and getting in touch

If you complete our sign-up form or contact us by email or telephone, we process the details you provide — usually your name, contact details, the licence class you want and your message.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, since the processing serves the initiation or performance of a training contract. Where your enquiry does not lead to a contract, we base the processing on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (answering your enquiry).

We keep your enquiry data until the purpose no longer applies. If a training contract is concluded, the statutory retention periods apply, in particular those under the German Commercial Code (HGB) and Fiscal Code (AO).

To block automated spam submissions we use technical checks that work without cookies and without passing anything to third parties.

4. Hosting and processing on our behalf

Our website is hosted by a service provider that processes data on our behalf. Form data is stored in a database and emails are delivered through a sending provider. We have data processing agreements under Art. 28 GDPR in place with every provider we use.

The specific providers and server locations will be added here before launch.

5. Cookies and analytics

This website does not set cookies for advertising purposes. Technically necessary storage takes place only where it is required to operate the site — the legal basis is § 25(2) TDDDG.

Should we use analytics or marketing services, they will be loaded only after your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG). You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.

6. Fonts and external content

All fonts are served from our own server. No connection is made to third-party servers and no IP address is transmitted to third parties.

We do not embed maps directly: the directions link opens Google Maps only once you actively click it. Google’s privacy terms apply from that point on.

7. Social media

The links to our Instagram and TikTok profiles are ordinary links. No content from those networks is loaded on our website and no data is transmitted to them before you click the link.

8. Photos of learner drivers

This website shows photos of learner drivers after they have passed their test. These are published solely on the basis of consent given in advance (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

You can withdraw your consent at any time, informally — just write to info@fahrschule-youniq.com. We will remove the photo immediately.

9. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights:

  • Access to the data stored about you (Art. 15)
  • Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16)
  • Erasure of your data, where no retention obligations prevent it (Art. 17)
  • Restriction of processing (Art. 18)
  • Data portability (Art. 20)
  • Objection to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21)
  • Withdrawal of consent with effect for the future (Art. 7(3))

An informal message to info@fahrschule-youniq.com is enough to exercise them.

10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. For North Rhine-Westphalia this is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia.

11. Changes to this policy

We update this privacy policy when the legal position changes, or when the services used on our website change.
