1.) For Children
To protect you and your data on the internet, there are laws and regulations. These are generally referred to as "data protection." The goal of data protection is to ensure that unauthorized persons do not access, use, or share your personal and non-personal data. We comply with these laws and explain below how we do so. It is important to know that we always need your parents' consent when processing or storing your data.
1.2) Personal Data
Do you know what your personal data is? Your personal data includes your name, your address (the street and city where you live), your date of birth, your phone number, your email address, or even the school you attend.
You do not need to provide us with any personal data to use heartdust.com or GOLDY-diekleinesternflocke.de.
We only ask for personal data for a specific reason:
For example, we need your email address if you want to participate in a contest on heartdust.com or GOLDY-diekleinesternflocke.de. Only with an email address can we notify you if you win.
If you win, we will ask for your address via email to send you your prize.
To become a GOLDY-Club member and receive special information and images, you need to sign up at heartdust.com or GOLDY-diekleinesternflocke.de. We will ask for your email address, first and last name, and date of birth. These personal data are stored but only so we can send you age-appropriate information, such as new GOLDY, the Little Starflake stories that only club members receive.
If you want to receive a newsletter from GOLDY, you must also provide your email address. If you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, you can easily unsubscribe at any time, and your email address will be deleted.
1.3) We Need Your Parents' Permission!
It is important that you only share your personal data if your parents have agreed to it. To confirm their consent, they must check a box below the input form and agree to the consent text.
If you provide us with your personal data, we will only keep it for as long as necessary, meaning:
Until a contest has been evaluated and prizes distributed,
Until you decide to leave the GOLDY-Club, or
Until you no longer want to receive the newsletter.
Afterward, the data you provided for that purpose will be deleted.
1.4) Non-Personal Data
Besides your personal data, there is also information that your computer sends us when you visit Herzstaub.com or GOLDY-diekleinesternflocke.de. This information is called non-personal data.
We receive these non-personal data so that you can view the website. When you visit our site, your computer requests a specific internet address (URL) from our server. At the same time, your computer sends us the following information:
A number (IP address) that identifies where your computer is currently accessible.
A series of other details, such as the program and operating system you are using.
Sometimes, your computer also tells us which website you came from before visiting ours.
To display our website on your computer, we need to store and process your IP address and other non-personal data.
1.6) If You Don’t Want Something
If you don’t want non-personal data to be collected, your parents and you can change the settings on this website.
We hope you understood everything well. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at info@heartdust.com or send us a letter to:
