Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Notice on Data Transfers to Non-Secure Third Countries and to U.S. Companies Not Certified under the DP

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, as well as U.S. tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries.
We would like to point out that in such non-secure third countries no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed.

The U.S. is considered a safe third country, generally providing a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.
A data transfer to the U.S. is therefore permissible if the recipient is certified under the “EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF)” or has appropriate additional safeguards.
Information about transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties.
This may also involve the transfer of personal data to these external parties.
We only share personal data with external parties if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer.
When using processors, we transfer personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement.
In the case of joint processing, a contract on 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 an already granted consent at any time.
The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Objection Right Against Data Collection in Special Cases and Against Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME AND FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO 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 AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING.
IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT 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, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data which 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 commonly used, machine-readable format.
If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

Access, Rectification and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free access to your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data.
For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you may 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 may contact us at any time.
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has been/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
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 restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined 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, such data may – apart from its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

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, 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 bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional E-Mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the transmission of not expressly requested advertising and information material.
The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our Internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets which do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may 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 of third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

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

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.
The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.
If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing is carried out 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 set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies 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.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Real Cookie Banner

Our website uses the consent technology Real Cookie Banner to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your device or to use certain technologies, and to document this consent in a manner compliant with data protection law.

Real Cookie Banner is installed locally on our servers, so there is no connection to the servers of the Real Cookie Banner provider.
Real Cookie Banner stores a cookie in your browser to be able to assign the consents granted or their revocation to you.
The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, you delete the Real Cookie Banner cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

The use of Real Cookie Banner takes place in order to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.

Server Log Files

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

These data are not combined with other data sources.

The collection of this data is 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 – for this, the server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, are 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.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the 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 will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been completely processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Request by E-Mail, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by e-mail, 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 pass on this data without your consent.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed).
