Personal data includes any information that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains which data we collect, how we use it, and for what purposes.

Unless a specific retention period is mentioned elsewhere in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies. If you exercise a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for retaining your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods). In such cases, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website

If you have given your consent, we process your personal data based on on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, or for special categories of data as defined in Article 9(1) GDPR (e.g., health or sensitive data) on the basis of Article 9(2) GDPR. If you have explicitly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process it based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, it is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also occur on the basis of our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part 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 share personal data with external parties if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in sharing the data, or if another legal basis permits the transfer. When using service providers (processors), we transfer personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object in Certain Cases and to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6 (1)(e) or 6(1)(f) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESES PROVISIONS. THE LEGAL BASIS FOR EACH PROCESSING OPERATION IS STATED 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 INTERETS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER 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 SUCH ADVERTISING PURPOSES;
THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the 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, place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. This right to complain exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive personal data that we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or to transfer it to a third party. If you request direct transmission of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out to the extent technically feasible.

Right to Access, Rectification, and Deletion

Under applicable law, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about the personal data we hold about you, including its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing, as well as the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. For this or any other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. 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 it. During this verification, 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 require it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
If you have objected under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between you and us must be conducted. As long as it is not determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

Once the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may only be processed—apart from its storage — with your consent, or for the establishment, 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/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize a secure connection when the browser address changes
from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

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

Objection to Marketing Emails

The use of contact information published as part of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
