Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies.

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

Where you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed.

In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Furthermore, we process your data where necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The specific legal bases applicable in each individual case are 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, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties.

We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer of data.

When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of 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 TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE 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 WHICH 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 TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT 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 violations 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 the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists 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 for yourself or for transfer to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

Access, Rectification and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal 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 data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data.

You may contact us at any time regarding this or any further questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose.

The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need 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 erasure.
If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may — apart from storage — only be processed with your consent, 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 of a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

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

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. Cookies are small data packages and 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 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 providers (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third parties within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not operate without them (e.g. shopping cart functionality or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you, or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web audiences) (necessary cookies) 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 for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services.

Where consent for the storage of cookies and similar 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 revoked at any time.

You can configure 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 certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Details of which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Contact by Email or Telephone

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (e.g. name and enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

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 revoked at any time.

The data you send us through contact enquiries remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular legal retention periods — remain unaffected.
