Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business operations, we work with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We will only share personal data with external entities when this is required for the fulfillment of a contract, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in the transfer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or when another legal basis allows the transfer of data. When using processors, we will only share personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be made.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING IS SET OUT IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement. The right to complain is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the data we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit this data to another controller. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Deletion

Under applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to rectify or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for any other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we have stored, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been or is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you require 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 lodged an objection under Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests outweigh the other, 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, such data – aside from its storage – may only be processed with your consent, for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packages and do not cause harm to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can be from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party providers within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you wish (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies was requested, the processing is carried out solely based on this consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to be notified when cookies are set, to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Contact Form

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after processing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiries via Email, Phone, or Fax

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

The data you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only voluntarily. We will use this data solely for sending the requested information and will not share it with third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The consent to store the data, the email address, and to use it for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, for example, via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing that has already occurred remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or until the purpose is no longer relevant. After unsubscribing or the purpose no longer applies, the data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion, within the scope of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data stored for other purposes will not be affected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data in the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
