3. General Information 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 the statutory data protection regulations and
this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is information that can
personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also
explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by
email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Controller Information:
The controller responsible for the data processing on this website is:

NICK SZYMCZAK

TIMEWAVES LLC

3833 POWERLINE ROAD
SUITE 101
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33309 US

Email: Info@timewaves.net

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Retention Period:
Unless a specific retention period is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain
with us until the purpose for data processing ceases. If you make a legitimate deletion request or
revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally
permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the
latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to exist.

General Information on Legal Bases for Data Processing on this Website
If you have given consent to the processing of your personal data, we will process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing can also take place based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases for each case are explained in the following 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 data protectionally insecure third countries. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that in these countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obligated to release personal data to law enforcement authorities without the possibility of legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke a consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, including profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based 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 serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection under Art.

21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, Deletion, and Correction

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

- If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, 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 exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

- If you have objected under Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balance between your interests and ours must be conducted. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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.

- For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS -encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

- If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit) after concluding a paid contract, these data are required for payment processing. Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via encrypted SSL/TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
