If you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data under Article 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing also takes place based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. Partially, the transmission of personal data to these external entities is necessary. We only disclose personal data to external entities when required for the fulfillment of a contract, when legally obligated (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or when another legal basis permits data disclosure. In the case of using processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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 TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY 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 case 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, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists irrespective of 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 if it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for any other questions concerning 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. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict 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 review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, but you oppose the deletion of your data and instead request the restriction of its use.
  • 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 lodged an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh the others, 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, this data may only be processed – aside from its storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL/TLS Encryption

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

3. Data Collection on this Website – Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until automatic deletion by your web browser occurs. Cookies can originate 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 companies 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 the display of videos). Other cookies can be used for the evaluation of user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for the provision of certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Article 6(1)(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 its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time. You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. You can find information on which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time. The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after the completion of processing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request.
