Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The applicable legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties.
In some cases, this also involves the transfer of personal data to such external parties.
We transfer personal data only where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer of data.

When using data 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 joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

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

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

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(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 RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND 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 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 ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, 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 INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of breaches 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 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 that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract transferred 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 be carried out only insofar as it is technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of these data.
For this purpose, as well as for further questions relating to personal data, you may 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 may contact us at any time for this purpose.
The right to restrict 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 was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you require them 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. As long as it is not yet clear 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—apart from their storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence 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.

Data Collection on This Website

Our website uses so-called “cookies.”
Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device.
They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device.
Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends.
Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies).
Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes.
Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or video display).
Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. the shopping cart function), or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure web audience) 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 the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services.
Where consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, 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 limited.

The specific cookies and services used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Inquiries 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 will not pass on these data without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures.
In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if obtained; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been completed).
Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Newsletter

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you and information allowing us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and agree to receive the newsletter.
No further data are collected, or only on a voluntary basis.
We use these data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass them on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
You may withdraw your consent to the storage of data, the e-mail 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 operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after cancellation or when the purpose no longer applies.
We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected.

After unsubscribing from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, insofar as this is necessary to prevent future mailings.
The data from the blacklist are used only for this purpose and are not merged with other data.
This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements regarding newsletter mailings (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited.
You may object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
