General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website

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

Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the execution of pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also take place based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The applicable legal bases for 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. This sometimes requires the transmission of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using processors, we share personal data of our customers only based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any previously given consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes at any time; this also applies to profiling, insofar as 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 lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement. The right to complain exists regardless of other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or for the performance of a contract, handed over to you or 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 done if technically feasible.

Access, rectification, and deletion

You have the right to obtain, at any time and free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and if applicable, the right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose and for any further questions regarding personal data.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we have stored, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification process, 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 processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, defend, or exercise legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.

If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and our interests must be conducted. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests outweigh, 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, those data – except for 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 important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses 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. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
