Information on the Data Controller

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which the data was processed no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for 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 event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data 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), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR if processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Information on Data Transfers to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use, among other things, tools provided by companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not considered secure from a data protection perspective. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

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

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER 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 infringements 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 is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, either yourself or through 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 carried out where technically feasible.

Access, Deletion and Rectification

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information, free of charge, about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. Where applicable, you also have the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we have stored about you, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of this verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, 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 may -- apart from being stored -- only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, 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 or TLS Encryption

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

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of our legal notice obligations for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising being sent, for example in the form of spam emails.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or 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 certain services provided by third-party companies to be integrated into websites, for example cookies used to process payment services. Cookies perform various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, such as shopping cart functionality or the display of videos. Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communications, providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart functionality) or optimising the website (e.g. cookies for measuring website audiences) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent may be withdrawn at any time. You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website. Information about the cookies and services used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include: Browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, IP address. This data is not combined with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website; server log files must therefore be collected for this purpose.

Contact Form

If you submit enquiries to us via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

Enquiries by Email or Telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
