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

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

Data processing can also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The respective applicable legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In cases of joint processing, a contract on joint processing is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations 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 until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

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

IF DATA PROCESSING IS 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; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE APPLICABLE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING 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 WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO 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 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 ACCORDING TO ART. 21(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, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in the fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, 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.

Right to Information, Correction, and Deletion

You have the right, within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, their origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and other questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

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

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data but you need them for exercising, defending, or asserting legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing instead of deletion.
• If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed – apart from their storage – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for important public interest reasons of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or 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 site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address line 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.

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any harm to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently stored on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion occurs via your web browser.

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 providers 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 functionality or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication processes, to provide certain functions you request (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for web audience measurement) are stored based on Art. 6(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 its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, or activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

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.

The collection of this data takes place based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – therefore 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 share this data without your consent.

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

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

Inquiry by 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 by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

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

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

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list thereafter. 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 according to Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR.

Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After your removal 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. Data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(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.
