Unless a specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (e.g., statutory retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once those grounds no longer apply.
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)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR (where special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed). In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information regarding the specific legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. This sometimes necessitates the transfer of personal data to these external entities. We only disclose personal data to external entities if this is required for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transferring data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When engaging data processors, we only transfer our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the event 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 express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Please refer to this privacy policy for the respective legal basis upon which processing is based. If you lodge an objection, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 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 personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any 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 in fulfillment of a contract handed over 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 done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Information, rectification, and deletion
Subject to applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as—where applicable—the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or for further questions concerning personal data.
Right to restriction of 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 restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of 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 was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it is 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, such data may—with the exception of storage—only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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 inquiries that you send to us as the site operator—this page uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Data procession on this website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not damage your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent 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 enable the integration of specific services provided by third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website features would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video playback). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing specific functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) (“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 to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Where consent for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based exclusively on that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); such consent may be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific instances or generally, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
If further cookies and services are used on this website, you can find details in this privacy policy.
Inquiry via Mail, Phone or Fax
If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry—including all associated personal data (name, inquiry)—will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates 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 inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided such consent has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you submit to us via contact inquiries will be retained by us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
5. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, as well as information allowing us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or any such data is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The data entered into the newsletter sign-up form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of the data and your email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time—for example, via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us (or by the newsletter service provider) until you unsubscribe; once you unsubscribe or the purpose for processing ceases to exist, the data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion, based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected by this.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list, your email address may be stored on a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. Data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in complying with legal requirements regarding the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). There is no time limit on storage in the blacklist. You may object to the storage, provided your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
