General Information on Data Processing Legal Bases on this Website

If you have given your consent for data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR if special categories of data are processed according to Article 9(1) of the GDPR. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR.

Data processing may also occur based on our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The relevant legal bases for data processing in individual cases are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Note on Data Transfer to Data Protection-Unsecured Third Countries and Transfer to Non-DPF Certified US Companies

We use tools from companies located in data protection-unsecured third countries and US-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these states. We would like to emphasize that in data protection-unsecured third countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed.

We note that the USA is generally considered a safe third country, and it maintains a data protection level comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient holds certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional safeguards in place. Information regarding data transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external entities. We only share personal data with external entities when it is necessary for contractual fulfillment, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in the transfer, or when another legal basis permits data transfer. When using data processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is established.

Revoking Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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, especially 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 the data we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have this data transferred to yourself or to a third party, where technically feasible, upon your request for direct transfer to another controller.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for any further questions regarding personal data, you can 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 for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, and you oppose the deletion of your data and instead request the restriction of its use.
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 of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) of the 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 processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data—except for storage—may 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 important public interest 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 that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/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 line.

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

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published in the context of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails, being received.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until automatic deletion by your web browser.

Cookies can 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 payment processing).

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

Cookies that are necessary for electronic communication processes, for providing certain desired functions (e.g., shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audiences) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. 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 the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out solely on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to accept cookies for certain cases or to exclude them in general, as well as to enable automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

You can find information about which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

For managing the cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) used and the respective consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details about the functionality of “Real Cookie Banner” can be found at https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/

The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the respective consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.

Contact Form

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

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries sent to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the 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 store it, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via Email, Phone, or Fax

When you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all related personal data (such as your name and inquiry details), will be stored and processed for the purpose of addressing your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if your inquiry is related to fulfilling a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), if it has been requested. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

The data you provide to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer exists (e.g., after the completion of addressing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions, especially statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
