This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected, used, and protected when you visit this website or contact us for pre-orders. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws.

When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in standard server log files that your browser automatically transmits. This information includes:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
• Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)
• Date and time of the server request

Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate Interest). Processing this data is necessary to ensure the technical security, stability, and smooth operation of the website. Server log data is not merged with other data sources.

If you send a pre-order request or inquiry to aurora@ahb.world, we collect the personal data you voluntarily provide. This typically includes:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your shipping address (if provided for fulfillments)
• Any additional information included in your message

Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Processing is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract (handling your pre-order) or fulfilling your request.

We store your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected:

• Pre-order and communication data: Retained until your order is processed or your inquiry is fully resolved.
• Tax/Commercial retention obligations: If a purchase contract is concluded, certain transaction data must be retained for up to 10 years in accordance with German statutory retention requirements (e.g., HGB, AO).
• Server log files: Automatically deleted or anonymized by the hosting provider within standard retention windows (typically 7 to 14 days).

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Your personal data is only shared with third parties when strictly necessary for website operation or fulfillment:

• Hosting Provider: Our web hosting provider processes server data on our behalf to display this website.
• Shipping/Postal Services: If an order is placed and shipped, your name and shipping address will be shared with the relevant postal or shipping service provider.

This website is designed as a minimalist showcase. We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or intrusive third-party analytics services.

(If your hosting provider uses strictly necessary session cookies, they are processed under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to ensure basic functionality).

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR): You have the right to request confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed and to obtain a copy of that data.
• Right to Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to Erasure / "Right to be Forgotten" (Art. 17 GDPR): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, provided statutory retention obligations do not apply.
• Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your data under certain conditions.
• Right to Data Portability (Art. 20 GDPR): You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
• Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR): You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data based on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Right to File a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority for data protection (e.g., the State Data Protection Commissioner of Rhineland-Palatinate or your local EU supervisory authority).

To exercise any of these rights, please send your request by email to aurora@ahb.world.
