Recipients of Personal Data

In the context of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, the transmission of personal data to these external parties is necessary.

We only transfer personal data to external parties if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., data disclosure to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to transfer the data, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special 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 TO OBJECT, 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 SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH THE PROCESSING IS BASED 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 THAT THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA 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 NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected persons have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, workplace, or the location of the alleged violation. This right to complain is 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 for the performance of a contract, provided to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out insofar as it is technically feasible.

Right of Access, Correction, and Deletion

You have the right, at any time and free of charge, under the applicable legal provisions, to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to request correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for any 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. You can contact us at any time to request this. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

- If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we have stored, we will usually need time to verify it. 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 is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

- 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 the restriction of processing instead of deletion.

- If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet 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, these data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. 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 the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used for analyzing user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for conducting the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is provided.

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 storing cookies and similar recognition technologies has been obtained, processing is carried out solely on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(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 allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, or activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

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)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and optimization of its website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

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 can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to exist (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via E-mail, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data arising 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.
