Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026

Le Jourdain UG (haftungsbeschränkt) ("we", "us", "our") operates the website lejourdain.net. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why, how we use it, and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable German data protection law (BDSG).

1. Who is responsible for your data

Data controller:

Le Jourdain UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Julius-Brecht-Straße 22
24148 Kiel
Germany
Email: [email protected]
Phone: +49 431 90862765

2. What data we collect and why

Contact form submissions. When you use the contact form on our Reach Us page, we collect your name, email address, and message content. We use this data solely to respond to your enquiry. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (processing necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to communications).

Email newsletter. If you subscribe to email updates, we collect your email address for that purpose. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

Server log files. Our web hosting provider automatically collects standard log data when you access our website, including your IP address (anonymised), browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used for technical operation of the site and is not linked to any individual user. It is deleted after 7 days. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a secure website).

Cookies. We use essential cookies for basic site operation (e.g. cookie consent preference). We use analytics cookies only with your explicit consent. See our Cookie Policy for details.

3. How long we keep your data

Contact form data: retained for up to 24 months, then deleted unless ongoing correspondence requires longer retention. Newsletter subscriptions: retained until you unsubscribe. Server logs: 7 days.

4. Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data to third parties. We may share data with our web hosting provider (a processor operating under a data processing agreement) and, if you subscribe to our newsletter, with the email service provider we use (Mailchimp or ConvertKit — details available on request). Both operate under adequate data protection frameworks.

5. Your rights under GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Erasure ("right to be forgotten") (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR)
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For Schleswig-Holstein, this is the Unabhängiges Landeszentrum für Datenschutz Schleswig-Holstein (ULD), Holstenstraße 98, 24103 Kiel, Germany.

6. Data transfers outside the EU

We do not routinely transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area. If our email service provider processes data outside the EEA, this occurs under Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
