If you assert a legitimate request for deletion 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. retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, deletion will take place after those reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of personal data under Article 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 Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each case are explained in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.

We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the transfer. When using processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE 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 PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 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 SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of GDPR violations, 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 the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to yourself or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

Access, correction and deletion

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

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

If processing has been restricted, such data may only be processed – aside from storage – with your consent, or for the establishment, 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.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required to carry out electronic communication, to provide certain functions you request (e.g. shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of services. If consent to store cookies and comparable recognition technologies was requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of that consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and to enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

These data are not merged with other data sources. Data collection is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website – for this purpose, server log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

Data processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if consent was requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose of storage no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiries via email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your inquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The data sent to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose of storage no longer applies (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
